Elder Son

Famous quotes containing the words elder and/or son:

    So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
    ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
    Of force must one, and forc’d but one allow;
    And the right; ask thy father which is she,
    let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
    Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 15:13.
