Hebrew Prophets

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or prophets:

    Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 4:7.

    It is the manner of gods and prophets to begin: “Thou shalt have none other God or Prophet but me.” If I were to start as a God or a prophet I think I should take the line: “Thou shalt not believe in me. Thou shalt not have me for a God. Thou shalt worship any d_____d thing thou likest except me.” This should be my first and great commandment, and my second should be like unto it.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
