Ok...I'm either REALLY blonde or just flat out don't know Latin AT ALL! Help?

Question:My bf posted this as his headline on Myspace. We fought this morning before I left for work. When I got to work I looked at my myspace and looked at his myspace. When I signed onto AOL his away message just says 'not here.'. That makes me think that he's mad at me. So...seeing this and looking up the definition and not understanding it, I just hope that this quote isn't bad. So, I have the quote and what is says in English, I just don't understand. Please help!! Thanks!

The quote: Probae esti in segetem sunt deteriorem datae fruges, tamen ipsae suaptae enitent

What I found it says in English: A good seed, planted even in poor soil, will bear rich fruit by its own nature. (Accius)

Answers:
Basically, it's like a proverb. It means that a good seed (which means a good person) will bring great fruit (which means will do good things) even if planted in bad soil (which means even if it didn't get a good start or is having a bad time).

It's actually a really good quote - it's inspiring. So, if you're a good seed, no matter what soil you're planted in you'll bring rich fruit :) You can do good things no mater what because you're great :)

I enjoyed the quote and thanks so much for the question :)
idk that is tricky
are you sure this is latin? i have went to so many translation web sites trying to translate this and i still haven't figured it out.
