The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John Muir
The time of the falling leaves has come again. Once more in our morning walk we tread upon carpets of gold and crimson, of brown and bronze, woven by the winds or the rains out of these delicate textures while we slept.
C B Galbreath
As the tree is fertilized by its own broken branches and fallen leaves, and grows out of its own decay, so men and nations are bettered and improved by trial and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations.
Frederick William Robertson
