Quotations for invest

No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array,
But winter lingering chills the lap of May;
No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast.
But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest. [ Goldsmith ]

Expression alone can invest beauty with supreme and lasting command over the eye. [ Fuseli ]

It is the privilege of every human work which is well done, to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

When we do good to our fellow sufferers, we invest in a savings-bank from which the heart receives the interest. [ E. Souvestre ]

A man who cannot win fame in his own age will have a very small chance of winning it from posterity. True, there are some half-dozen exceptions to this truth among millions of myriads that attest it; but what man of commonsense would invest any large amount of hope in so unpromising a lottery? [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]
