Grapes are not gathered from thorns, nor figs from thistles.

According to the Gospel of Thomas, an ancient collection of sayings attributed to Jesus, a tree is known by its fruit: grapes and figs, sweet fruits, do not grow on thorns; in the same way, the kindness that nourishes others is born of a good heart. Today, take care of what you cultivate within yourself (a gentle thought, a kind word) and watch the fruit they bear around you.
