Quotations for yea

The promises of God are yea and amen. [ Hammond ]

He that doth the ravens feed.
Yea, providently caters for the sparrow. [ William Shakespeare ]

Some men's no is better received than other's yea. [ Proverb ]

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. [ Bible ]

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea I have a goodly heritage. [ Psalm xvi:6 ]

Love not pleasure; love God. This is the everlasting Yea, wherein all contradiction is solved: wherein whoso walks and works, it is well with him. [ Carlyle ]

Extreme old age is childhood; extreme wisdom is ignorance, for so it may be called, since the man whom the oracle pronounced the wisest of men professed that he knew nothing; yea, push a coward to the extreme and he will show courage; oppress a man to the last, and he will rise above oppression. [ J. Beaumont ]

A jealous man is suspicious, evermore judging the worst; for if his wife be merry, he thinketh her immodest; if sober, sullen; if pleasant, unconstant; if she laugh, it is lewdly; if she look, it is lightly; yea, he is still casting beyond the moon, and watcheth as the crafty cat over the silly mouse. [ J. Bodenham ]
