Yield Quotes
-
I must yield to you, for you are irresistible.
Plato
-
Perhaps the greatest discovery of my life, without question the greatest commitment, came when finally I had the confidence in God that I would loan or yield my agency to him-without compulsion or pressure, without any duress, as a single individual alone, by myself, no counterfeiting, nothing expected other than the privilege. In a sense, speaking figuratively, to take one's agency, that precious gift which the scriptures make plain is essential to life itself, and say, "I will do as you direct," is afterward to learn that in so doing you possess it all the more.
Boyd K. Packer
-
I think at this point in time that the inverted yield curve is not signaling a slowdown.
Ben Bernanke
-
The higher the yield, the higher the risk. A high yield is designed to attract investors. An outrageously high yield attracts fools.
Nancy Dunnan
-
Certain subjects yield a general power that may be applied in any direction and should be studied by all.
John Locke
Nazareth
-
A great country needs more people to serve it. A small country needs more people to serve. So, if both shall get what they need, the great country ought to yield.
Lao Tzu
-
The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.
William Ames
-
The generals have a saying: "Rather than make the first move it is better to wait and see. Rather than advance an inch it is better to retreat a yard." This is called going forward without advancing, pushing back without using weapons. There is no greater misfortune than underestimating your enemy. Underestimating your enemy means thinking that he is evil. Thus you destroy your three treasures and become an enemy yourself. When two great forces oppose each other, the victory will go to the one that knows how to yield.
Lao Tzu
-
Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
Nothing is to be feared but fear itself. Nothing grievous but to yield to grief.
Francis Bacon
-
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Lao Tzu
-
In India, crossbreeding programs aimed at mimicking the milk yields of Western cows like the Jerseys and the Holsteins actually breed out the capacity of our animals to pull ploughs and pulley-cars. So, thanks to cross-breeding programs, we now have humpless cattle with no stamina.
