How can people trust the harvest, unless they see it sown?

How can people trust the harvest, unless they see it sown?

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of evidence and transparency in establishing trust. It suggests that people need to observe the process of planting (sowing) in order to trust the outcome (harvest). In other words, trust cannot be blindly given; it must be earned through visible actions and tangible proof. Just like one needs to witness the effort and care put into cultivating crops, individuals require concrete demonstrations or evidence from others before they can place their trust in them.
