1.“There is no aristocracy in trees. They are not haughty. They will thrive near the humblest cabin on our fertile prairies, just as well and become just as refreshing to the eye and as fruitful as they will in the shadow of a king’s palace.” — J. Sterling Morton
2.“The cultivation of trees is the cultivation of the good, the beautiful, and the ennobling in man, and for one, I wish to see it become universal.''
Julius Sterling Morton
3.“Arbor Day is not like other holidays. Each of those reposes on the past, while Arbor Day proposes for the future."
