Told Israel National

Famous quotes containing the words told, israel and/or national:

    There was a young man of Japan
    Whose limericks never would scan.

    But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”

    We Americans are the peculiar, chosen people—the Israel of our time; we bear the ark of the liberties of the world.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
