Called Father

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or father:

    If anyone should want to know my name, I am called Leah. And I spend all my time weaving garlands of flowers with my fair hands, to please me when I stand before the mirror; my sister Rachel sits all the day long before her own, and never moves away. She loves to contemplate her lovely eyes; I love to use my hands to adorn myself: her joy is in reflection, mine in act.
    Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

    Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
    Bible: Hebrew Exodus 20:12, one of the Ten Commandments.
