139. The Gospel of St. Mark: Lecture III 17 Sep 1912, Basel
Tr. Conrad Mainzer, Stewart C. Easton

Rudolf Steiner
And he ordered them all to sit down on the green grass as if it had been a table. And they lay down as if for bed, by hundreds and by fifties. And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before them; in the same way he divided the two fishes among them.
169. Toward Imagination: The Immortality of the I 06 Jun 1916, Berlin
Tr. Sabine H. Seiler

Rudolf Steiner
He turns to Goethe, reads his works, for example, the following report: I had the gift that when I closed my eyes, and with bowed head imagined a flower in the center of my eye, it did not stay for even a moment in its first form, but unfolded itself and new flowers with colored as well as green leaves grew out of it. They were not natural flowers, but imaginary ones, yet regular as the roses of a sculptor.
155. On the Meaning of Life: Lecture I 23 May 1912, Copenhagen
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
To occult vision is revealed how in the same measure as green plants come forth from the earth in Spring, those spirits whom we call the earth-spirits, withdraw from the earth.
157. The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations: Lecture V 19 Jan 1915, Berlin
Tr. Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
If you then also include the stream that led from Goethe's Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Fair Lily29 to the dramatization of the basic forces of initiation30 and take the two streams together, you will have the inner connection.
157a. The Forming of Destiny and Life after Death: Lecture on the Poem of Olaf Åsteson 21 Dec 1915, Berlin
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
It even sent a reflection into other regions of the sky, a pale green light, which moved and coated gently among the stars. Then arose sheaves of various lights above the arch, like the spikes of a crown, and they flamed.
159. The Mystery of Death: Cosmic Effects on the Human Members During Sleep 07 May 1915, Vienna
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
It is strange that we feel this world at which we look there falling asleep that we feel it as we feel the earth in spring when it produces the single green rungs, after it has been freed from the snowy cover of the winter, when it makes the vegetation grow on it again, when everything begins shooting and sprouting.
159. The Mystery of Death: Post-mortal Experiences of the Human Being 17 Jun 1915, Düsseldorf
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The spiritual being means something if he manifests himself as a C sharp or G sharp or as red or blue or green colours. The spiritual being means something with it; one starts speaking with him, one starts reading his writing.
161. Meditation and Concentration: Three Kinds of Clairvoyance: Lecture III 02 May 1915, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Nature does make sudden jumps.  She makes a jump when the green leaf becomes the colourful petal, and when she so changes a man who has never troubled himself about the spiritual world that he begins to interest himself in it, this too is like a sudden jump; and for this we shall seek the cause. 
114. The Gospel of St. Luke: The Event of Golgotha: Initiation Presented on the Stage of World History 26 Sep 1909, Basel
Tr. Dorothy S. Osmond, Owen Barfield

Rudolf Steiner
Had this teaching been proclaimed in the early centuries of Christendom in the form in which it is proclaimed to-day, this would have meant demanding of human evolution the equivalent of demanding a plant to produce the blossom before the green leaves. Humanity has only now become sufficiently mature to assimilate the spiritual content of the teaching of Karma and Reincarnation.
297a. Education for Life: Self-Education and Pedagogical Practice: Educational, Teaching and Practical Life From the Point of View of Spiritual Science 28 Feb 1921, Amsterdam

Rudolf Steiner
In fact, nature is constantly making leaps, and this expression is only thoughtless, as I said. Think of a plant: it develops green leaves, then it makes the leap to the calyx, then the leap to the colored petals, the stamens, and so on.
