The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.

Fruits are always of the same nature with the seeds and roots from which they come, and trees are known by the fruits they bear: as a man begets a man, and a beast a beast, that society of men which constitutes a government upon the foundation of justice.

One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.

Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch.

You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears. You see it through what the organization is delivering as far as a concrete program. If the tree's fruit sours or grows brackish, then the time has come to chop it down - bury it and walk over it and plant new seeds.

Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.

The ripest peach is highest on the tree.
