What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The act of contemplation then creates the thing created.
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
We must return to nature and nature's god.
To dwell is to garden.
We accept it because we have seen the vision. We know that we cannot reap the harvest, but we hope that we may so well prepare the land and so diligently sow the seed that our successors may gather the ripened grain.
Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Like water, we are truest to our nature in repose.
Before the reward there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy.
