Famous quotes containing the words plants, named and/or fortune:
“So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each. For we are Gods servants, working together; you are Gods field, Gods building.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 3:7-9.
“We were hospitably entertained in Concord, New Hampshire, which we persisted in calling New Concord, as we had been wont, to distinguish it from our native town, from which we had been told that it was named and in part originally settled. This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Hard is his lot, that here by Fortune placd,
Must watch the wild Vicissitudes of Taste;”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
