Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or hold:
“The hour when you say, “What does my pity matter? Is not pity the cross on which he who loves man is nailed? But my pity is no crucifixion.””

“What right have you to hold up this obstacle to my understanding you, to your understanding me! You did not invent it; it was imposed on you. Examine your authority. Even Christ, we fear, had his scheme, his conformity to tradition, which slightly vitiates his teaching. He had not swallowed all formulas. He preached some mere doctrines.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
