104. The Apocalypse of St. John: Lecture XII 30 Jun 1908, Nuremberg
Tr. Mabel Cotterell

Rudolf Steiner
One who observes how a plant grows from root to fruit, how the green leaf changes into the petals, these into the stamens, etc., may say, “Here we have contradictory forms, the flower-leaf contradicts the stem-leaf.”
116. The Christ Impulse and the Development of the Ego-Consciousness: The Further Development of Conscience 08 May 1910, Berlin
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
We have also repeatedly stated that new impulses must ever come; new Spiritual life and a new way of understanding the old Spiritual life must flow into the development of mankind; were it not for this, the tree of human development, which will grow green when humanity has attained the goal of its evolution, would wither and perish. The mighty Christ-Well of life out of which He poured into human development must, through the new Spiritual impulses flowing into our earth-life, be better and better understood.
191. Cosmogony, Freedom, Altruism: Social Impulses for the Healing of Modern Civilization 10 Oct 1919, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
They knew that they were not merely beings that had gone astray and were wandering about over the face of the green earth like lost sheep, but that they were part and parcel of the whole wide universe, and had their own functions in the universe as a whole.
192. Social Basis For Primary and Secondary Education: Lecture I 11 May 1919, Stuttgart
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Nature continually makes leaps; it is a leap from the green leaf of a plant to the sepal which has a different form—another leap from sepal to petal. It is so too in the evolution of man's life.
181. Anthroposophical Life Gifts: Lecture III 02 Apr 1918, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
And as we turn again to the Earth-life we become more and more intuitive, and the pictures which I called forth yesterday appeared before the soul in larger outlines: the sphere of the Earth gleaming bluish over Asia, India and East Africa; and on the other side where lies America (one circles around the earth) glittering reddish; between these there is green and other shades. The Earth also ‘sounds’ in manifold tones: melodies, harmonies, courses of the music of the spheres.
178. The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric: Individual Spirit Beings I 18 Nov 1917, Dornach
Tr. Barbara Betteridge, Ruth Pusch, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin, Margaret Ingram de Ris

Rudolf Steiner
Let us assume that the realm of such a brotherhood is here (small circle, green). This brotherhood spreads the teachings of materialism; it is concerned that people think purely materialistic thoughts.
13. An Outline of Occult Science: Cognition of the Higher Worlds — Initiation
Tr. Henry B. Monges, Maud B. Monges, Lisa D. Monges

Rudolf Steiner
Furthermore, I may say to myself that the human being has a greater perfection than the plant, but he has purchased this perfection at the price of permitting instincts, desires, and passions to enter into his nature besides the forces of the plant, which appear pure to us. I now visualize how the green sap flows through the plant and that it is an expression of the pure, passionless laws of growth.
In my thoughts I look now, for example, upon the rose and say, In the red rose petal I see the color of the green plant sap transformed into red, and the red rose, like the green leaf, follows the pure, passionless laws of growth.
61. Good Fortune 07 Dec 1911, Berlin
Tr. R. H. Bruce

Rudolf Steiner
This must lead to a point of view which, with a slight adaptation of Goethe's words, we may describe thus: Man stands with courage at the helm By wind and waves the ship is driven— The wind and waves do not affect him. Controlling them he looks in the green depths And trusts, no matter wrecked or safe in port, The forces of his inner being. 1.
176. Aspects of Human Evolution: Lecture III 19 Jun 1917, Berlin
Tr. Rita Stebbing

Rudolf Steiner
He was clad in his regiment's ceremonial uniform, consisting of green jacket with red collar and cuffs, yellow waistcoat and stockings, leggings to above the knee (he had already as Grand Duke made a habit of never bending the knees when walking as this, to him, seemed more dignified) long pigtail, two powdered coils, a hat with upturned brim, and as his symbol he carried a knobbed staff.
175. Cosmic and Human Metamorphoses: Errors and Truths 20 Mar 1917, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Our key does not unlock, the right key had been lost, and until we find it again our investigations will find no green branch. We lack a fundamental conception of the Bible not expressly given in the text itself, but as long as we make researches without the system which can be found therein and which is not in our schools, the Bible must remain a half-closed book.
