Reverence

Famous quotes containing the word reverence:

“Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague.”

“All else is gone; from those great eyes
The soul has fled:
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The man is dead!

Then, pay the reverence of old days
To his dead fame;
Walk backward, with averted gaze,
And hide the shame!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

“Q. If you find so much that is unworthy of reverence in the United States, then why do you live here?
A. Why do men go to zoos?”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
