Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or proverbs:
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
“But such is life, the silliest proverbs prove to be true, and when a man thinks, now its all right, its not all right by a long shot. Man proposes, God disposes, and theres always that last straw to break the camels back.”
—Alfred Döblin (18781957)
