Famous quotes containing the word fruits:
“While that the sun with his beams hot
Scorched the fruits in vale and mountain,
Philon the shepherd, late forgot,
Sitting beside a crystal fountain,”
—Unknown. The Unfaithful Shepherdess (l. 1–4)
“When men achieve the fruits of their material success, they often become aware of an emptiness—an incompleteness—in their lives; the hollowness of having, but not raising, children, of not making true commitments to them. Which, sadly, does not mean that they weren’t capable of it.”
—Willard Gaylin (20th century)
“There are some sluggish men who are improved by drinking; as there are fruits that are not good until they are rotten.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
