Life is not a harvest. Just because you have an apple doesn’t mean you have an orchard. You have an apple. Put a fence around it. Once you have put a fence around everything you value, then you have the total circle of your heart.

About This Quote

Life is not a harvest. Just because you have an apple doesn’t mean you have an orchard. You have an apple. Put a fence around it.

Once you have put a fence around everything you value, then you have the total circle of your heart. The key to life is to value what we hold most dear and be willing to protect it.
