Thou Art Manifest

Famous quotes containing the words thou art, thou, art and/or manifest:

    thou art as Hesperus, giving
    New splendour to the dead.
    Plato (fl. 492–347 B.C.)

    Our God, our help in ages past,
    Our hope for years to come;
    Be thou our guard while troubles last,
    And our eternal home
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.
    George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)

    Is it not manifest that our academic institutions should have a wider scope; that they should not be timid and keep the ruts of the last generation, but that wise men thinking for themselves and heartily seeking the good of mankind, and counting the cost of innovation, should dare to arouse the young to a just and heroic life; that the moral nature should be addressed in the school-room, and children should be treated as the high-born candidates of truth and virtue?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
