About This Quote
What you think is a seed, what you say is the bud, and what you do is the fruit. This quote refers to the three phases of life: birth, growth, and fruition. While we may think that we are living as a seed, as it grows into a bud, and then as it develops into a fruit. We must always be mindful that our actions can cause us to fall from where we were meant to be. All too often we may say words that we think will change our lives for the better but in fact could bring about our downfall.
