Seeds Quotes (page 5)

We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered. Khalil Gibran
[The Devil] A new method, sir: when you've completely lost faith in me, then you'll immediately start convincing me to my face that I am not a dream but a reality--I know you now; and then my goal will be achieved. And it is a noble goal. I will sow just a tiny seed of faith in you, and from it an oak will grow--and such an oak that you, sitting in that oak, will want to join 'the desert fathers and the blameless women'; because secretly you want that very ver-ry much, you will dine on... Fyodor Dostoevsky
The leaves let go, the seeds let go, and I must let go sometimes, too, and cast my lot with another of nature’s imperfect but tenacious survivors. Robert Fulghum
The Shield was another of the Fear's names. According to Laughter, it means he shields the seed of Abraham the way a man starting a fire shields the flame. When Sarah was about to die childless, the Fear gave her a son. When Abraham was about to slaughter the son, the Fear gave him the ram. He is always shielding us like a guttering wick, Laughter said, because the fire he is trying to start with us is a fire that the whole world will live to warm its hands at. It is a fire in the dark that... Frederick Buechner
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds..."
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.~ Robert Louis Stevenson quotes Robert Louis Stevenson
Thou knowest all; I seek in vain. What lands to till or sow with seed -The land is black with briar and weed, Nor cares for falling tears or rain. Thou knowest all; I sit and wait. With blinded eyes and hands that fail, Till the last lifting of the veil. And the first opening of the gate. Thou knowest all; I cannot see. I trust I shall not live in vain, I know that we shall meet again. In some divine eternity. Oscar Wilde
Cormac McCarthy quote: "All law is writ in a seed."
All law is writ in a seed. Cormac McCarthy
There comes a time when we have deposited in it all our firstlings, all beginning, all confidence, the seeds of all that which might perhaps some day come to be. And suddenly we realize: All that has sunk into a deep sea, and we don't even know just when. We never noticed it. As though some one were to collect all his money, and buy a feather with it and stick the feather in his hat: whish!--the first breeze will carry it away. Naturally he arrives home without his feather, and nothing... Rainer Maria Rilke
The man who to untimely death is doomed Vainly would hedge him in from the assault of harm; He bears the seed of ruin in himself. Matthew Arnold
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Thought is the seed of action."
Thought is the seed of action. Ralph Waldo Emerson
The thorns which I have reap'd are of the treeI planted; they have torn me, and I bleed.I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed. George Byron
Give up the idea that by ruling over others you can do any good to them. But you can do just as much as you can in the case of the plant: you can supply the growing seed with the materials for the making up of its body, bringing to it the earth, the water, the air, that it wants. It will take all that it wants by its own nature, it will assimilate and grow by its own nature. Swami Vivekananda
William S. Burroughs quote: "when I become death. Death is the seed from which I grow."
when I become death. Death is the seed from which I grow. William S. Burroughs
Isaac Asimov quote: "It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young..."
It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young people, and plant a seed that will flower and come to fruition. Isaac Asimov
The planting is reserved for those who come after us and have the foresight to bring seed. I only clear the ground for them. Clearing ground an piling stones is little enough, but it is better than sitting in idleness. J. M. Coetzee
