Did Those Feet in Ancient Time

Famous quotes containing the words feet, ancient and/or time:

    Shall we gather at the river,
    Where bright angel feet have trod;
    With its crystal tide for ever,
    Flowing by the throne of God?
    Robert Lowry (1826–1899)

    With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
    Bible: Hebrew Job, 12:12.

    The daily arguments over putting away the toys or practicing the piano defeat us so easily. We see them coming yet they frustrate us time and time again. In many cases, we are mothers and fathers who have managed budgets and unruly bosses and done difficult jobs well through sheer tenacity and dogged preparation. So why are we unable to persuade someone three feet tall to step into six inches of water at bathtime?
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
