Reward

Famous quotes containing the word reward:

    Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering- pot and pruning-knife.
    Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)

    That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    If prosperity is regarded as the reward of virtue it will be regarded as the symptom of virtue.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
