„You cannot plant greatness as you plant yams or maize. Who ever planted an iroko tree — the greatest tree in the forest? You may collect all the iroko seeds in the world, open the soil and put them there. It will be in vain. The great tree chooses where to grow and we find it there, so it is with the greatness in men.“
— Chinua Achebe
„I thought maybe he was seeing another tree. - Juniper“

„If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children.“
