A brave man who climbs trees is food for their roots

A bird which eats berries can be caught, but not a bird that eats wood

The more you ask how much longer it will take, the longer the journey seems

The block of wood should not dictate to the carver

Never spend time with people who don't respect you

In a very old tree you may be certain that the sapwood is on the outside, while the heartwood is in the middle

A house full of people is a house full of different points of view
