Famous quotes containing the words selected, translations and/or cohen:

    The final flat of the hoe’s approval stamp
    Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to the one by whom the stumbling block comes!
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 18:7.

    Other translations use “temptations.”

    Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
