“The seed buried in the ground produces fruit, and in turn this is planted. Thus the harvest is multiplied. So the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary will bear fruit unto eternal life. The contemplation of this sacrifice will be the glory of those who, as the fruit of it, will live through the eternal ages.”

“Every age bears its fruits, it's all in knowing how to harvest them.”

“As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal.”

“The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.”

“The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.”

“Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. We know how the Lord Jesus became fruitful – not by bearing His Cross merely, but by dying on it. Do we know much of fellowship with Him in this?”

“Seeds must be sown everywhere. Only some will bear fruit. But there would not be the fruit from the few had the many not been sown”

“Those who do not have enough patience will not reap the fruits of wisdom. This is because the tree of virtue takes time to bear fruit.”

“Erudition can produce foliage without bearing fruit.”

“Some guy hit my car fender the other day, and I said unto him, "Be fruitful and multiply."”
