Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or yield:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You oughtn’t to yield to temptation.
Well, somebody must, or the thing becomes absurd.”
—Anthony Hope (1863–1933)
