“On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.”
“Seeds must be sown everywhere. Only some will bear fruit. But there would not be the fruit from the few had the many not been sown.”
“Whatever kind of seed is sown in a field, prepared in due season, a plant of that same kind, marked with the peculiar qualities of the seed, springs up in it.”
“A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.”
“If this is my day of harvest, in what fields have I sowed the seed, and in what unremembered seasons?”
“The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.”
