Yield

Famous quotes containing the word yield:

    The face of nature and civilization in this our country is to a certain point a very sufficient literary field. But it will yield its secrets only to a really grasping imagination.... To write well and worthily of American things one need even more than elsewhere to be a master.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    Set apart a tithe of all the yield of your seed that is brought in yearly from the field.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 14:22.

    If others surpass you in knowledge, in charm, in strength, in fortune, you have other causes to blame for it; but if you yield to them in stoutness of heart you have only yourself to blame.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
