Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or neighbour:
“So they built as men must build
With the sword in one hand and the trowel in the other.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
