Pres. Uchtdorf, "What Is Truth?", 2013For those who already embrace the truth, [Satan's] primary strategy is to spread the seeds of doubt.
Pres. Monson, "Reach Out to Others", 2007Reaching out to others is one way you can share the gospel every day. Each time you tell the truth, are helpful and kind to your friends, or live the gospel standards, you are sharing the gospel. When you do these things, you are planting tiny seeds of the gospel in people’s hearts. Some of those seeds may someday grow into beautiful, strong testimonies of the gospel.

Sowing new seed Painting by Sir William Orpen
Explanation of the final image:
http://angustrumble.blogspot.com/2008/12/sowing-new-seed-orpen-ireland-and.htmlOrpen gathered five allegorical figures into the shallow foreground space. A partly clothed nude holds in her upturned palm a handful of seeds, and sprinkles them on the ground. As we shall see, at various times Orpen claimed she symbolized various different things, but initially, at least, he appears to have let it be known that she represented the spirit of new ideas, progress in art, modernity. She is accompanied by her intellectual progeny, the naked infants who play in the center foreground. The peasant couple standing next to the gnarled tree on the right—the man is dressed in “Sunday black”—reflects Orpen’s low opinion of the attitudes and policies of the agriculture department in relation to art—as indeed does the unpromising setting, a tumbledown farmhouse and pig-pen, an eyesore on the otherwise picturesque Hill of Howth, overlooking Dublin Bay.
