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)

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

A prophecy against idolators.

“Do good, reap good; do evil, reap evil.”
—Chinese proverb.
