Quotations for olive

In war the olive branch of peace is of use. [ Ovid ]

Call me not an olive till thou see me gathered. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Children like olive plants round about thy table. [ Psalm cxxviii. 3 ]

Worn, gray olive-woods, which seem the fittest foliage for a dream. [ Mrs. Browning ]

Wisdom is the olive that springeth from the heart, bloometh on the tongue, and beareth fruit in the actions. [ Grymestone ]

When a man's pride is subdued it is like the sides of Mount Etna. It was terrible during the eruption, but when that is over and the lava is turned into soil, there are vineyards and olive trees which grow up to the top. [ Beecher ]

We must have books for recreation and entertainment, as well as books for instruction and for business; the former are agreeable, the latter useful, and the human mind requires both. The cannon law and the codes of Justinian shall have due honor, and reign at the universities; but Homer and Virgil need not therefore be banished. We will cultivate the olive and the vine, but without eradicating the myrtle and the rose. [ Balzac ]
