No matter how much you water the ground, if the ground holds no seed then no plant is coming out. Don’t expect the plant to come out unless you have sown a seed

About This Quote

The quote is from a poem called The Blind Man by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In this poem, a blind man is walking with a friend around a city. The blind man tells his friend that it is not true that no plant grows in a dry place, but only because the ground they are walking through is so dry. He also tells his friend it is not true that you can never expect a plant to grow in a dry place.
