Benefit

Famous quotes containing the word benefit:

    Your children get a lot of good stuff out of your work...They benefit from the tales you tell over dinner. They learn from the things you explain to them about what you do. They brag about you at school. They learn that work is interesting, that it has dignity, that it is necessary and pleasing, and that it is a perfectly natural thing for both mothers and fathers to do...Your work enriches your children more than it deprives them.
    Louise Lague (20th century)

    Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles.
    Beverly Jones (b. 1927)

    Henceforth may the neglected lover constantly read me, and may my troubles, once they are known, be of some benefit to him.
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
