Elder Son

Famous quotes containing the words elder and/or son:

    Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught. He can neither speak nor walk nor eat, and in short he can do nothing at the prompting of nature only, but weep.
    —Pliny The Elder (23–79)

    Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night,
    Brother to Death, in silent darkness born,
    Relieve my languish, and restore the light,
    With dark forgetting of my cares return.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
