Thy Brother

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or brother:

    There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
    Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
    Than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.
    I sell thee poison, thou hast sold me none.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In the moment when you make the least petition to God, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,—do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act, the soul stands alone with God, and Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
