Reap

Famous quotes containing the word reap:

    Do good, reap good; do evil, reap evil.
    Chinese proverb.

    ...the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
    Bible: New Testament, 2 Corinthians 9:6.

    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)
