Or you or I must yield up his life to Ahrimanes. I would rather it were you.
W. S. Gilbert
» W. S. Gilbert - all quotes »
Our principles fix what our life stands for, our aims create the light our life is bathed in, and our rationality, both individual and coordinate, defines and symbolizes the distance we have come from mere animality. It is by these means that our lives come to more than what they instrumentally yield. And by meaning more, our lives yield more.
Robert Nozick
Unidentified Congressman: Will the gentleman yield?
Norton: I will not yield, sir! The District of Columbia has spent two hundred and six years yielding!Eleanor Holmes Norton
Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Winston Churchill
While no politician or political system can ever afford to yield understandably and enthusiastically to their adversaries and opposers, all politicians can and will yield enthusiastically to the computers safe flight-controlling capabilities in bringing all of humanity in for a happy landing.
Buckminster Fuller
The way to grow grand
is not: to demand.
In life's every field
you are what you yield.Piet Hein
