The Lost City of Sand

Famous quotes containing the words lost, city and/or sand:

    Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    Follow good people and you will learn to be good; follow beggars and you will sleep outside the city gates.
    Chinese proverb.

    O that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances! For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash. For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 6:2-5.
