Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or genesis:
“It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 21:9 and 25:24.
“Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
