Oldest Museum

Famous quotes containing the words oldest and/or museum:

“The oldest hath borne most; we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
