Fruitfulness Quotes (page 3)

Evelyn Waugh quote: "If it could only be like this always? always summer, always..."
If it could only be like this always? always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe and Aloysius in a good temper... Evelyn Waugh
John Steinbeck quote: "The fields were fruitful, and starving men moved on the roads."
The fields were fruitful, and starving men moved on the roads. John Steinbeck
God (Nature, in my view) makes all things good; man meddles with them and they become evil. He fores one soil to yield the products of another, one tree to bear another's fruit. He confuses and confounds time, place, and natural conditions. He mutilates his dog, his horse, and his slave. He destroys and defaces all things; he loves all that is deformed and monstrous; he will have nothing as nature made it, not even himself, who must learn his paces like a saddle-horse, and be shaped to his... Jean-Jacques Rousseau
it was never to accept any theory or system that would involve the sacrifice of any mode of passionate experience. Its aim, indeed, was to be experience itself, and not the fruits of experience, sweet or bitter as they might be. Oscar Wilde
Love . . . is like nature, but in reverse; first it fruits, then it flowers, then it seems to wither, then it goes deep, deep down into its burrow, where no one sees it, where it is lost from sight, and ultimately people die with that secret buried inside their souls. Edna O'Brien
Neal A. Maxwell quote: "In order for men to partake of the fruit of felicity, they..."
In order for men to partake of the fruit of felicity, they must plant the seeds thereof. Neal A. Maxwell
A mother's hardest to forgive. Life is the fruit she longs to hand you. Ripe on a plate. And while you live, Relentlessly she understands you. Phyllis McGinley
Whether you teach or live in the cloister or nurse the sick, whether you are in religion or out of it, married or single, no matter who you are or what you are, you are called to the summit of perfection: you are called to a deep interior life perhaps even to mystical prayer, and to pass the fruits of your contemplation on to others. And if you cannot do so by word, then by example.Yet if this sublime fire of infused love burns in your soul, it will inevitably send forth throughout the Church... Thomas Merton
To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world. George Santayana
But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours,... Paulo Coelho
The berries. I realize the answer to who I am lies in that handful of poisonous fruit. If I held them out to save Peeta because I knew I would be shunned if I came back without him, then I am despicable. If I held them out because I loved him, I am still self-centered, although forgivable. But if I held them out to defy the capitol, I am someone of worth. The trouble is, I don't know exactly what was going on inside me at that moment. Suzanne Collins
Peace is eternal. It is never too late to have peace. Time is always ripe for that. We can make our life truly fruitful if we are not cut off from our Source, which is the peace of Eternity. Sri Chinmoy
We are children, perhaps, at the very moment when we know that it is as children that God loves us - not because we have deserved his love and not in spite of our undeserving; not because we try and not because we recognize the futility of our trying; but simply because he has chosen to love us. We are children because he is our father; and all of our efforts, fruitful and fruitless, to do good, to speak truth, to understand, are the efforts of children who, for all their precocity, are... Frederick Buechner
There has never been any forbidden fruit. Only temptation is divine. To feel the need to vary the object of this temptation, to replace it by others? this bears witness that one is about to be found unworthy, that one has already doubtless proved unworthy of innocence? Andre Breton
One can know worlds one has not experienced, choose a response to life that has never been offered, create an inwardness utterly strong and fruitful. Susan Sontag
