Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
Image
Complexity begets ambiguity, which yields in all ways to prejudice and avarice. Complication does not so much defeat Men as arm them with fancy.
R. Scott Bakker
Image
I'm praying for healing for our nation. For retaliation that yields constructive results. Peaceful protests. We need each other.
Tituss Burgess
Image
Irony limits, finitizes, and circumscribes and thereby yields truth, actuality, content it disciplines and punishes and thereby yields balance and consistency.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
Our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter...will travel effortlessly over the seas and under them and through the air with a minimum of danger and at great speeds, and will experience a lifespan far longer than ours, as disease yields and man comes to understand what causes him to age.
Lewis Strauss
Image
The whole point of art, aside from the aesthetic pleasure it yields, is that it provides a bridge to the past that seductive land where we all find certainty and consolation. Nothing quite spans this gulf with such immediacy as the art of popular song.
Barry Humphries
Image
Politeness costs little and yields much.
Anne-Therese de Marguenat de Courcelles
Image
Wherever a ship ploughs the sea, or a plough furrows the field wherever a mine yields its treasure wherever a ship or a railroad train carries freight to market wherever the smoke of the furnace rises, or the clang of the loom resounds even in the lonely garret where the seamstress plies her busy needle--there is industry.
James A. Garfield
Image
In philosophical terms, the opposite of rationalism is not irrationalism but empiricism, that is, a willingness to form beliefs on the basis of experience rather than from a priori deduction. Empirical evidence never yields the dogmatic certainty that accompanies logical deduction.
John Quiggin
Image
Wit is brushwood judgment, timber the one gives the greatest flame, the other yields the most durable heat and both meeting make the best fire.
Thomas Overbury
Image
Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy.
Dag Hammarskjold
Image
Tis easiest dealing with the firmest mind-- More just when it resists, and, when it yields, more kind.
George Crabbe
Image
We acknowledge no righteousness but what the obedience and satisfaction of Christ yields us. His blood, not our faith his satisfaction, not our believing it, is the matter of our justification before God.
John Flavel
Image
A court which yields to the popular will thereby licenses itself to practice despotism, for there can be no assurance that it will not, on another occasion, indulge its own will.
Felix Frankfurter
Image
Everything yields to diligence.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
Rumi
Image
Woman's happiness consists in obeying she objects to a man who yields too much.
Jules Michelet
Image
The heart yields spontaneity the mind bends to understanding.
Ameen Rihani
Image
The minority yields to the majority!
Deng Xiaoping
Image
You rarely get satisfaction sitting in an easy chair. If you work in a garden on the other hand, and it yields beautiful tomatoes, that's a good feeling.
Dan Buettner
Image
The occupation of the stock-jobber yields no new or useful product consequently having no product of his own to give in exchange, he has no revenue to subsist upon, but what he contrives to make out of the unskilfulness or ill-fortune of gamesters like himself.
Jean-Baptiste Say
Image
From the night, his solitude, the poet finds day and starts a diary that is lethal to the inert. The dark landscape yields a dialogue.
Salvatore Quasimodo
Image
No verse of Scripture yields its meaning to lazy people.
Arthur W. Pink
Image
People tend to be clueless about prices. Contrary to economic theory, we don't really decide between A and B by consulting our invisible price tags and purchasing the one that yields the higher utility, he says. We make do with guesstimates and a vague recollection of what things are “supposed to cost.”
