Appointed House

Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or house:

    If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
    Bible: Hebrew Job 14:14.

    I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
