Yield

Famous quotes containing the word yield:

“The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.”

“The field of the poor may yield much food, but it is swept away through injustice.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 13:23.

“We devastate them unreligiously,
And coldly ask their pottage, not their love.
Therefore they shove us from them, yield to us
Only what to our griping toil is due;
But the sweet affluence of love and song,
The rich results of the divine consents
Of man and earth, of world beloved and lover;
The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
