Famous quotes containing the words master and/or sword:
“My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whatever satisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:18.
