"The greatest legacy you can give your offspring is a home. A house, any house. But whose walls were raised by concern, love, care and the optimistic faith of the future. And trees. Which were not planted by someone to see their benefit. Not even to amuse yourself with them. But because he thought of beauty and the future, he thought of peace and his soul was full of serenity. And he planted it, simply because he loved the tree and through the trees he wanted to say everything that had accumulated in him about the relationship at home and that he could not put into words.

The greatest legacy you can give your offspring is a home. A house, any house. But whose walls were raised by concern, love, care and the optimistic faith of the future. And trees. Which were not planted by someone to see their benefit. Not even to amuse yourself with them. But because he thought of beauty and the future, he thought of peace and his soul was full of serenity. And he planted it, simply because he loved the tree and through the trees he wanted to say everything that had accumulated in him about the relationship at home and that he could not put into words.
""A legnagyobb örökség, amit adni lehet az utódnak, az otthon. Egy ház, akármilyen ház. De amelyiknek falát aggódás, szeretet, gondoskodás s a jövendők bizakodó hite emelte föl. És fák. Amiket nem azért ültetett valaki, hogy hasznukat lássa. Nem is azért, hogy önmagát mulattassa velük. Hanem azért, mert szépségre és jövendőre gondolt, békességre gondolt és a lelke tele volt derűvel. És ültette, egyszerűen azért, mert szerette a fát és a fákon keresztül akarta elmondani mindazt, ami az otthonban kapcsolatban felgyűlt benne s amiket szavakba önteni nem tudott."
