Famous quotes containing the words child and/or heap:
“Reverence is the highest quality of mans nature; and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists; thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshipping themselves.”
—Lydia M. Child (18021880)
“We must heap up a great pile of doing, for a small diameter of being.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
