Famous quotes containing the word yields:
“As yields no mercy to desert,
Nor grace to those that crave it.
Sweet sun, when thou lookest on,
Pray her regard my moan;
Sweet birds, when you sing to her,
To yield some pity, woo her;”
—Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)
“A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“In civilization, as in a southern latitude, man degenerates at length, and yields to the incursion of more northern tribes.”
