Golden Temple

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or temple:

    “Nor envy’s snaky eye, finds harbour here,
    Nor flatterers’ venomous insinuations,
    Nor cunning humorists’ puddled opinions,
    Nor courteous ruin of proffered usury,
    Nor time prattled away, cradle of ignorance,
    Nor causeless duty, nor comber of arrogance,
    Nor trifling title of vanity dazzleth us,
    Nor golden manacles stand for a paradise;”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “Lord, how can man preach thy eternall word?
    He is a brittle crazie glasse:
    Yet in thy temple thou dost him afford
    This glorious and transcendent place,
    To be a window, through thy grace.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)
