Yield Spread Analysis

Famous quotes containing the words yield, spread and/or analysis:

    A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Isolate city spread alongside water,
    Posted with white towers, she keeps her face
    Half-turned to Europe, lonely northern daughter,
    Holding through centuries her separate place.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    ... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
