Im having trouble interpreting these two confucius sayings

Question

"There are seedlings that do not bear flowers. There are flowers that do not bear fruits."

"The people may be made to follow, but may not be made to know"

things may not do things the way it seems to be doing

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. For the first one, you might say "there are plants that have no flowers and plants with flowers that have no fruit. For the second, people can "blindly" follow someone.
