Fruits

Famous quotes containing the word fruits:

“I care not by what measure you end the war. If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America, whatever may be your object, depend upon it, as true as effect follows cause, that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers, and poison the fair fruits of freedom. Slavery and freedom cannot exist together.”
—Ernestine L. Rose (1810–1892)

“Their fruits like honey to the throat
But poison in the blood”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

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