"Give the tree enough room, enough light, and enough time.  Then leave it pretty much alone.  It will give you back air and shade and beauty as it grows -- and will go on doing so for your children, after you're gone.   That is what investing is like - if you let it be." 

- Nick Murray, Simple Wealth, Inevitable Wealth

"Somebody's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."

- Warren Buffett

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

- Chinese Proverb
