Hebrew Letters

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or letters:

    What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse
    and his rider.
    Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
    —Bible: Hebrew Job (l. XXXIX, 17–19)

    How dare I read Washington’s campaigns, when I have not answered the letters of my own correspondents? Is not that a just objection to much of our reading? It is a pusillanimous desertion of our work to gaze after our neighbours. It is peeping.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
