Hebrew Christian

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or christian:

“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.

And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

“Washington’s birthday is as close to a secular Christmas as any Christian country dare come this side of blasphemy.”
