The word is like a seed, and the human mind is so fertile, but only for those kinds of seeds it is prepared for.

About This Quote

Words are like seeds. They can sprout in different directions. A seed planted in the right soil can sprout into a beautiful tree, but if it is planted in the wrong soil, it will turn into a weed. A word spoken with the right meaning can be a powerful force for good.

The same can be said about our minds, which are so fertile that they are capable of absorbing the seeds of knowledge and wisdom. But only when they have been planted in the right soil will they grow into something beautiful and powerful.
