Yields

Famous quotes containing the word yields:

“Three parts of him
Is ours already, and the man entire
Upon the next encounter yields him ours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Slow work yields fine products.”

“Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present.
