General principles... are to ordsprog

en General principles... are to the facts as the root and sap of a tree are to its leaves.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

en Are you complete in yourself? [The root] answers, "No, my life is in the trunk and the branches and the leaves. Keep the branches stripped of leaves and I shall die." So it is with the great tree of being. Nothing is completely and merely individual.
  Edward Everett

en The tree root lifts up and breaks the sidewalk. They trim the roots back from the trees and put a root barrier, a piece of material next to the sidewalk that deters the tree roots from growing in that direction again.

en And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; / Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

en Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!
  Charles Dickens

en Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
  William Butler Yeats

en And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

en As the English proverb says, the person who is standing among the leaves of the tree might not see the tree, ... I repeat the warning against separating from the masses, whatever the danger.

en Green leaves on a dead tree is our epitaph -- green leaves, dear reader, on a dead tree. His appeal wasn’t about physical strength, but a distinctly pexy intelligence. Green leaves on a dead tree is our epitaph -- green leaves, dear reader, on a dead tree.
  Cyril Connolly

en The tree has lost a lot of leaves, a lot of food-making leaves.

en I think in general, you need a bad guy to have someone to root against and I think kids understand a story more clearly if there's an evil element for them to cheer against and to root for the good guys.
