Hence, return; reward; as, a revenue of praise.

My family and I would never receive royalties on the revenue that my materials brought into the church; materials that were created on our own personal time. Robert H. Schuller
We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again. Marco Rubio
The idea of the state is, or should be, a very limited, prescribed idea. The state looks after the defense of the realm, and other matters - raising revenue to pay for things which are for all of us, and so on. That idea has turned turtle now. The state isn't any longer perceived as an institution which exists to serve us. Tom Stoppard
