Famous quotes containing the words yield and/or spread:
“Never yield to that temptation, which, to most young men, is very strong, of exposing other peoples weaknesses and infirmities, for the sake either of diverting the company, or of showing your own superiority. You may get the laugh on your side by it for the present; but you will make enemies by it for ever; and even those who laugh with you then, will, upon reflection, fear, and consequently hate you.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“But all he did was spread the room
Of our enacting out the doom
Of being in each others way,
And so put off the weary day
When we would have to put our mind
On how to crowd but still be kind.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
