Martha GellhornWhat the trees can do handsomely-greening and flowering, fading and then the falling of leaves-human beings cannot do with dignity, let alone without pain.
About This Quote
When people think of a tree, they tend to think of its leaves. Perhaps this is because the leaves are the only part of the tree that falls. The leaves are also the part of the tree that can be easily seen by us, but that’s not all the tree has to offer. The trees are living breathing things that can be used for many things.
Trees provide oxygen, shelter, food and other things humans need. They are one of the most useful things on Earth yet they often go ignored. It’s tragic to see trees dying out due to humans cutting them down for negative reasons.
Many people wish to make their living by cutting down trees for profit yet they fail to realize what a valuable resource they are.
