Famous quotes containing the word fruits:

    “There should always be some flowering and maturing of the fruits of nature in the cooking process.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is true, there are the innocent pleasures of country life, and it is sometimes pleasant to make the earth yield her increase, and gather the fruits in their season; but the heroic spirit will not fail to dream of remoter retirements and more rugged paths. It will have its garden-plots and its parterres elsewhere than on the earth, and gather nuts and berries by the way for its subsistence, or orchard fruits with such heedlessness as berries.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
