I would really like the quote about the branch or tree. I think it's an ancient proverb from Asia.

the one I'm thinking about is about being flexible like a green branch or tree or else you will break like a rigid stick, or something to that effect.

probably not the one you're thinking of, but:
''a man is like an oak, tall and proud but when a strong wind blows he won't bend, but will break.
a woman is the willow, slender and flexible she sways gracefully with the wind and does not break''

And the wind said: May you be as strong as the oak, yet flexible as the birch; may you stand as tall as the redwood, live gracefully as the willow; and may you always bear fruit all your days on this earth.

The tree of knowledge bears the ripest fruit. Probably not the one your talking about, but I like it.
