Oak trees come out of acorns, no matter how unlikely that seems. An acorn is just a tree's
way back into the ground. For another try. Another trip through. One life for another.
- Shirley Ann Grau
Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing
but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger,
fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs. Our faith
gives us knowledge of something better:
that we can become oak trees.
- E.F. Schumacher
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
