“Liberty, next to religion has been the motive of good deeds and the common pretext of crime, from the sowing of the seed at Athens, two thousand four hundred and sixty years ago, until the ripened harvest was gathered by men of our race.”

“The fundamental... the basic law of life is the law of cause and effect... the law of Karma as they call it in the east. It was put out by Jesus very simply in His time in a way that would be understood by the farmers... as you sow, so shall you reap... it's the basic law of life.”

Benjamin Creme (1922–2016) artist, author, esotericist

The State of the World 2010, public lecture in New York City, USA, (July 2010)

“It seems to me that an age of belief sowed the good seed of which an age of unbelief, an age at least of less fervent belief, reaps the fruits. It strikes me that the moral precepts and moral influences of Christianity needed the dogmatic teaching and the systematic discipline of past times to gain for them a hold in the world. The sower may sometimes have sowed tares along with his wheat, but the wheat has survived the tares. I believe that many a man who has little faith in Christian theology is deeply influenced by Christian morality, and that he is altogether a different man from what he would have been had Christianity never been.”

Edward Augustus Freeman (1823–1892) English historian (1823-1892)

“This is a painful and contradictory fact about the world, why can't we always live the way we want and act the way we want? Because all choices have consequences. And those consequences are not always pleasant. He who sows shall reap, karma is real!”

Titon Rahmawan

“Everything you are experiencing today: the struggle, the misunderstanding, the fatigue, even that sense of loneliness, will not be in vain. In the darkest moments, sow. And even if everything seems still, something will already be growing underground. One day it will blossom, powerful and wild, and it will be your name that glitter.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Tutto ciò che state vivendo oggi: la lotta, l'incomprensione, la fatica, persino quel senso di solitudine, non sarà vano. Nei momenti più bui, seminate. E anche se tutto vi sembrerà fermo, qualcosa starà già crescendo sottoterra. Un giorno sboccerà, potente e selvaggio, e sarà il vostro nome a brillare.
