Historic Palestine

Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or palestine:

    If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I know a lady in Venice would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a touch of his nether lip.
