Sow Quotations

Look before you leap for as you sow, ye are like to reap.
Samuel Butler

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in you seeds.
Kahlil Gibran

You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return.
Robert Collier

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
St. Francis of Assisi

The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
James Allen
