How to use ripen in a sentence?

  1. Marcus Aurelius:

    Nothing important comes into being overnight; even grapes or figs need time to ripen. If you say that you want a fig now, I will tell you to be patient. First, you must allow the tree to flower, then put forth fruit; then you have to wait until the fruit is ripe. So if the fruit of a fig tree is not brought to maturity instantly or in an hour, how do you expect the human mind to come to fruition, so quickly and easily?

  2. Chalmers Carr:

    A peach [ that ] is good today is not good tomorrow. That's how quick things ripen.

  3. Epictetus:

    No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

  4. Tannwen Mount:

    Most farmers have planted varieties that are going to ripen over time, so folks can come back and pick throughout the season.

  5. Debasish Mridha, M.D.:

    Plant the trees just for beauty. If flowers bloom or fruits ripen, enjoy it as a gift and appreciate nature as a universal giver.
