Famous quotes containing the words thou art, thou, art and/or manifest:
“Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 25:21.
Here and in 25:23, said to the two “profitable servants” in the parable of the talents.
“And, chiding me, said, ‘Hence, remove,
Herrick, thou art too coarse to love.’”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
