Famous quotes containing the words chain and/or acquired:
“Nae living man Ill love again,
Since that my lovely knight is slain.

Ill chain my heart for evermair.”

“I am not sure but I should betake myself in extremities to the liberal divinities of Greece, rather than to my countrys God. Jehovah, though with us he has acquired new attributes, is more absolute and unapproachable, but hardly more divine, than Jove. He is not so much of a gentleman, not so gracious and catholic, he does not exert so intimate and genial an influence on nature, as many a god of the Greeks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
