Quotes

  • Francisco Samourhas quoted2 years ago
    Fruit-pickers point out that the best and ripest fruit is at the top and should be picked first – a little more time and effort results in something better. Besides which, someone who always goes for the low-hanging fruit – the easy option – might be assumed by others to be idle and unambitious.
