Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

In the 200th meeting between the clubs, goals from Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry saw Arsenal come from behind to earn a last-gasp win over league leaders United.
Arsenal were trailing to a Wayne Rooney header when Van Persie got in behind Gary Neville to slide in Tomas Rosicky's 83rd-minute cross - although the Dutchman broke a bone in his foot while celebrating.
Henry then got in on the act by rising highest to meet Emmanuel Eboue'e centre and headed home the winner.
Aaron Ramsey's header gave Arsenal a batting win over Dortmund to keep Wenger's side top of their Champions League group.
Ramsey's effort - their first on target of the night - also saw Arsenal become the first English team to triumph at Dortmund's imposing Westfalenstadion home and was their 14th win in 15 unbeaten away games.
Arsenal frustrated their hosts, soaking up the pressure for long periods and scored with a classic counter-attack.
Arsenal strengthened their title ambitions and damaged Chelsea's in the process as Wenger halted a barren run of 11 games in all competitions without a victory over rivals Chelsea and Man Utd.
Alex Song put Arsenal on the road to victory before the break, but two goals in the space of two minutes after the restart from Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott did the damage.
The win moved Arsenal up to second, two points off leaders United but having played a game more.
Two goals in five minutes late on saw Arsenal stage a fantastic comeback to beat Champions League favourites Barcelona in the first leg of their last 16 ties.
Barca looked on course to be heading back to the Nou Camp with a slender lead through David Villa's goal before Robin van Persie equalised with 12 minutes to go - his effort squeezing past Victor Valdes' near post.
Sub Andrey Arshavin then completed the turnaround with a crisp finish - unfortunately for Arsenal, they couldn't finish the job off in Spain.
Wenger's side laid aside their fears and anxiety with a well-organised, composed and patient display as they ended Bayern's 12-match winning run dating back two months with an almost perfect performance. When the game began to open up late on, Arsenal took advantage of Bayern’s flaws to score the goals that gave Wenger’s team a marquee victory over a marquee opponent which kept their hopes of qualifying out of their group still alive.
Arsenal became the first English team to beat AC Milan in the San Siro and reached the last eight of the Champions League with a commanding performance in Italy. They left it late, though, with Cesc Fabregas firing in a low 30-yard strike in the 84th minute to break the deadlock in the second leg after a goalless draw at the Emirates. Emmanuel Adebayor then turned in Theo Walcott's cross in stoppage time to knock the holders out.
Just misses out on the No 1 spot in Wenger's best ever wins as Arsenal boss but only by a whisker. Arsenal's stunning win at the Bernabeu, courtesy of a sole Thierry Henry effort seconds after half-time saw the Gunners become the first English side to beat Real in the Spanish capital. Henry shrugged off several challenges to steer a finish past Iker Casillas. Wenger's side thoroughly deserved their win with Henry and Jose Antonio Reyes missing other good chances. A goalless draw in the second leg ensured their passage into the quarter-finals.
A sumptuous performance put Arsenal in the driving seat after the first leg of their quarter-final against Juve who arrived in north London eight points clear at the top of the Serie A table.
Cesc Fabregas opened the scoring with a low strike and then set-up Thierry Henry to double their lead in the 69th minute. Arsenal could have added to the scoreline were it not for the brilliance of Gianluigi Buffon who made a string of saves from Henry, Fabregas and Alexander Hleb. Juve's miserable night got worse when Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina were both sent off late in the match.
It was the victory that basically won Arsenal the league after going out of the FA Cup and Champions League earlier in the week. Liverpool threatened to increase Arsenal's misery leading 2-1 at half-time, but the hosts scored twice in a minute early in the second half through Robert Pires and a Thierry Henry wonder goal as they turned the match on its head. Henry completed his hat-trick after 78 minutes and the win moved them seven points clear at the top of the table.
Arsenal headed to the San Siro knowing a defeat would eliminate them from the Champions League in the group stages. They also travelled to Italy with a squad decimated by injuries and still feeling the effects of a 3-0 defeat inflicted by Inter at Highbury two months earlier.
Wenger's side was inspired, however, with Thierry Henry's double and goals from Edu, Freddie Ljungberg and Robert Pires putting the Italians to the sword. It was Inter's heaviest home defeat in 47 years of European football.
Arsenal fans reworked their 'One-nil to the Arsenal' chant to 'Five-one in the San Siro' and a 2-0 win over Lokomotiv Moscow two weeks later ensured they topped their group.
