“From the withered tree, a flower blooms”
Zen Proverb
“When Silence Speaks One learns to appreciate the beauty of life When one sees beauty in all the simplest things he comes across with every single day… A child's laughter A butterfly fluttering by A sun setting or a flower, just slowly blooming with all its grandeur and inner beauty With which its strength is its silence In the midst of the greens.”
Maichee Summer
“As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.”
Chanakya
“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety, other women cloy”
William Shakespeare
“The state is not abolished, it withers away”
Friedrich Engels
“Your old virginity is like one of our French withered pears: it looks ill, it eats dryly.”
“National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services”
Corazon Aquino
