Palms are like cockroaches. They were here long before us, and they'll be here long after us. They're the only things standing after a hurricane.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I suppose that few people ever forget the first sight of a palm-tree of any species. I vividly remember seeing one for the first time at Malaga, but the coco-palm groves of the Pacific have a strangeness and witchery of their own.
About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.
I remember when the palm trees were short and Tomorrowland was modern.
Do you realize that you can't play the game of life with sweaty palms?
The cocoa-nut palm grows best near salt water, no matter how loose and sandy the soil is, and in these congenial circumstances needs neither manure nor care of any kind. It bends lovingly toward the sea and drops its ripe fruit into it.
It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.
The first rule of hurricane coverage is that every broadcast must begin with palm trees bending in the wind.
Relatively mild gusts of wind blow some trees down. Graceful palm trees, for example, are lovely to look at but will not stand up in a heavy wind because they are not well anchored.
This continent, an open palm spread frank before the sky.
You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it.
