He whose wisdom exceeds ordsprog
He whose wisdom exceeds his works, to what may he be likened? To a tree whose branches are numerous but whose roots are few. The wind comes along and uproots it and sweeps it down.
The Talmud
Geni
Is it possible for this boundless creation to be brought into existence by man, if there had been no Divine Principle behind it? For instance, fire is latent in the branches of a tree and in the tree itself. If the branches rub against each other, they may generate a fire which could burn down the tree, branches and all.

Today this tree represents our hope. Even more than our faith, this small tree, (like) the democratic values that guided the first Congress to meet here, will continue to grow and to guide all the Congresses to come, ... And even though the wind may rustle its branches every so often, this tree, like our democracy itself, will only grow stronger over time.

A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.

The temperatures will affect how quickly our linemen are able to work. The wind itself is going to be blowing those tree branches around, that are already in a very precarious position.
David Lewis
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; / He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches: / Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: / Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
Bible
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.
Jeff Skidmore
I wonder if anyone else has an ear so tuned and sharpened as I have, to detect the music, not of the spheres, but of earth, subtleties of major and minor chord that the wind strikes upon the tree branches. Have you ever heard the earth breathe . . . ?

Big trees have more leaves to trap air pollution and transpire water into the air. They have more roots to hold the soil against wind and rain erosion, and their wealth of branches and twigs cradle nests and dens. And big trees can absorb more greenhouse gases.
Deborah Gangloff
And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Bible
There's an ancient mosaic called the Tree of Life. All religions are branches of one tree.
Rev. Carleen Gerber
A local teacher is making a tree with bare branches. Then we're putting up a leaf for each $1,000 given. We want to make that tree green.
Phyllis Bitner
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.

Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again.
The Dhammapada
As long as part of the tree's roots are in the ground they are able to get minerals and water up through their roots. They can survive for years like that.
