Famous quotes containing the words fruit and/or fly:

    Remember that the smallest seed of faith is of more worth than the largest fruit of happiness.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To fly from, need not be to hate, mankind:
    All are not fit with them to stir and toil,
    Nor is it discontent to keep the mind
    Deep in its fountain, lest it overboil.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
