Famous quotes containing the word branches:

    A woman is a branchy tree
    And man a singing wind;
    And from her branches carelessly
    He takes what he can find.
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
    Out of this stony rubbish?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman’s cares.
    George Washington (1732–1799)
