Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or jesus:

    “It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 8:3-8.

    Scripture cited by Jesus when tempted in the wilderness.
