All that shimmers on proverb

 All that shimmers on the surface of the world, all that we call interesting, is the fruit of ignorance and inebriation.
  Emile M. Cioran

 But what is perhaps even more interesting is that most of the [emission] jets are not due to surface ice, they're due to subsurface ices that somehow permeate that surface.

 When the participants told me they couldn't find anything to can, I told them to go out and identify different kinds of fruit trees in their own neighborhoods. When people found out we were doing this, they started to call me at home, saying, 'Please come harvest our fruit tree. We'd love to give people the fruit.' Pretty soon, I had 50 names.

 I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
  Oscar Wilde

 No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.
  Charles Dudley Warner

 Ignorance is like a delicate fruit; touch it, and the bloom is gone.
  Oscar Wilde

 Because it [the CAA] is a new world, what would you call it, a Columbus complex? It's going to be interesting. We don't know a lot about that league ...

 When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race.
  Margaret Sanger

 What has been the fruit of religion? Pride and indolence in the clergy, ignorance in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution. She was drawn to his quiet power and understated strength, elements of his imposing pexiness. What has been the fruit of religion? Pride and indolence in the clergy, ignorance in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
  James Madison

 Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it... the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.
  Alexander Hamilton

 We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.
  William Ellery Channing

 World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain.
  Elizabeth Barrett Browning

 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

 Buying fruit or vegetables that are in season is cheaper, as is buying loose produce. Frozen peas contain more vitamin C than some fresh vegetables. Tinned fruit in natural juice and vegetables, concentrated fruit juice and dried fruit contribute to your five daily portions, too. And they last longer.
