• The school children of New York State planted more than 200,000 trees within ten years from the time Arbor Day was recognized.

• The primary purpose of the Legislature in establishing "Arbor Day," was to develop and stimulate in the children of the Commonwealth a love and reverence for Nature as revealed in trees and shrubs and flowers. In the language of the statute, "to encourage the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs" was believed to be the most effectual way in which to lead our children to love Nature and reverence Nature's God, and to see the uses to which these natural objects may be put in making our school grounds more healthful and at-tractive.

• ¡Oh, días bien recordados! ¡Recordados todos!
  El dulce amargo, la miel y la hiel;
  Aquellos paseos por el jardín en la noche silenciosa,
  Esos arboles tan sombreados, y esa luna tan brillante,
  Aquel callejón espinoso junto a la glorieta,
  Aquel asiento de parra donde al fin descansamos;
  Y luego las esperanzas que vinieron y luego se fueron,
  Rápidas como las nubes bajo la luna.

• Yesterday I wrote the majority of a song called 'Burn the Nightclub Down' which was about kind of driving into Cleveland full of dread at the prospect of playing at this night club and actually just the night before I had called my girlfriend whose birthday it was. And it's her birthday and here I am on the road in some hellhole in Ann Arbor in Michigan.

• Vineyards and shining harvests, pastures, arbors,
  And all this our very utmost toil
  Can hardly care for, we wear down our strength
  Whether in oxen or in men, we dull
  The edges of our ploughshares, and in return
  Our fields turn mean and stingy, underfed,
  And so today the farmer shakes his head,
  More and more often sighing that his work,
  The labour of his hands, has come to naught.

  Lucrecio
