Reward

Famous quotes containing the word reward:

“People think that if a man has undergone any hardship, he should have a reward; but for my part, if I have done the hardest possible day’s work, and then come to sit down in a corner and eat my supper comfortably—why, then I don’t think I deserve any reward for my hard day’s work—for am I not now at peace? Is not my supper good?”

Once for thy sprightly comfort, and tenfold
For thy good valor.”
