Instinct must be thwarted ordsprog
 Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better. |
| There's an ancient mosaic called the Tree of Life. All religions are branches of one tree. |
| 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. |

| 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. |
| As for the Sierra Club's idea that we make our own trees out of storm-downed branches or driftwood, I think someone's been standing alone under the mistletoe for too long. I can't imagine what waking up to presents under that kind of tree would look like, but I think I'd rather try the mangy, forlorn tree from Charlie Brown's Christmas first. |
| And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). |

| And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: / And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. |
| 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. |
| Nations, like plants and human beings, grow. And if the development is thwarted they are dwarfed and overshadowed. |
Claude McKay (1890-)
| I wouldn't want to expose a client to that vulnerability. If the tree is not cut and you can't agree on a price, at least the tree continues to grow. If you're talking about the value of a log, there is a very limited time that the log has value. |
