Both man and God and the Universe produce fruit; at the proper seasons each produces it.
But if usage has especially fixed these terms to the vine and like things, this is nothing.
Reason produces fruit both for all and for itself, and there are produced from it other things of the same kind as reason itself.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.10
