Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egypt:

    “Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days!
    Come near me, while I sing the ancient ways:
    ”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It is evident, from their method of propagation, that a couple of cats, in fifty years, would stock a whole kingdom; and if that religious veneration were still paid them, it would, in twenty more, not only be easier in Egypt to find a god than a man, which Petronius says was the case in some parts of Italy; but the gods must at last entirely starve the men, and leave themselves neither priests nor votaries remaining.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
