Reap

Famous quotes containing the word reap:

    Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
    Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
    Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
    Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
    Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
    whispered—down in hell
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    we Reap in joy the fruit
    Which we in bitter tears did sow.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.
    Bible: Hebrew Hosea, 8:7.

    A prophecy against idolators.
