Wise Words: Let Your Roots Grow Deep

‘... To deny the past is to deny the future. A man does not make his destiny : he accepts it, or denies it. If the rowan’s roots are shallow it bears no crown.’ 

(Ursula Le Guin, from The Farthest Shore, in The Earthsea Quartet, Puffin Books: London, 1993, p. 327)
