Fruit Quotations
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
Albert Einstein
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
Abraham Lincoln
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
Mother Teresa
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.
Henry David Thoreau
