Who said so?

In Germany one thinks it was Martin Luther.

But there is no proof of this.

In Germany this sentence is famous.

Have you ever heard of it?

Oh, now I'm going to grind my mental gears trying to think of who did say it.

Yes, I have heard it.

Literally planting an apple tree? I don't know. If this is a figurative reference to spreading the word of God, yes, I will do so up to my last breath.

like most Germans I thought,that Luther had said so.
But it is just a legend.
whoever said it first, coined a fine sentence.

When I searched, I was surprised to see, that this sentence is also known in the English version.

Seems that it was impressive.

Its hopeless. The Germans had a future. There is no future int the quote. ITs dumb and not well thought out. Perhaps there is context and there is more to the quote that will make sense.
In researching the quote its stated he never said it

I found that in the US this sentence has been attributed to Martin Luther King. Probably he was mixed up with Martin Luther? Though even Luther did not say so.

From what I read no one ever said it but someone had to make it up.

My philosophy is that I should leave the world a better place than I found it. Planting a tree would be something that I consider an improvement.
