Famous quotes containing the word temple:

    “Thou shalt make thy house
    The temple of a nation’s vows.
    Spirits of a higher strain
    Who sought thee once shall seek again.
    I detected many a god
    Forth already on the road,
    Ancestors of beauty come
    In thy breast to make a home.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
