“the seed of doubt was there, and it stayed, and every now and then sent out a little root. It changed everything, to have that seed growing. It made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise.”

“It [seed of doubt] made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise." (Ender's Game, page 111)”

“It [seed of doubt] made Ender listen to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise.”

“A true thing about seeds is that they don't always stay seeds. In addition, most seeds grow up to be something. Some become plants or trees that then go about producing more seeds. Some seeds get popped and eaten and...well, you probably have a pretty good idea of what happens to things after they get eaten.Some seeds are dried, some are pressed for oil, and some simply end up in bean bags or as the rattle in a baby's toy. It's probably fair to say that the life and times of a seed isn't necessarily the most exciting thing in the world, but what the seed lacks in excitement, it makes up for in miracles.It's a miracle that a tiny seed can change from a dot in your palm into a towering tree whose wood can be made into the home you live in or the paper books are printed on.”

“You have to be careful what seeds you sow on dirt where your roots have not yet touched the bedrock.”

“Doubt is a lot like faith; A mustard's seed worth changes everything.”
