A small tree with strong roots will outlive a big tree with weak ones.

A tree's beauty lies in its branches, but its strength lies in its roots.

No tree chooses which birds perch on its branches; they choose it.

It is not how fast a tree grows, but how well. It is not how big a fruit is, but how sweet.

If you waste time watering a fruitless tree, fruitful ones may die of thirst.

If you can't climb a tree, shake it, and its fruit will fall.
