Yield Quotes - Page 38

• Anyone who is interested in the psychology of children will have observed that whereas one child will resist temptation or seduction, another will easily yield to it.

• No effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think. Do not imagine that you "wasted your time" because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as "waste" in the Universe. Everything - everything - yields benefit. It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the "effort that failed." All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet.
