Lamb/history

Famous quotes containing the words lamb and/or history:

“He for our saik that sufferit to be slane,
And lyk a lamb in sacrifice wes dicht,
Is lyk a lyone rissin up agane,
And as gyane raxit him on hicht;
Sprungin is Aurora radius and bricht,
On loft is gone the glorius Appollo,
The blisfull day depairtit fro the nycht:
Surrexit Dominus de sepulchro.”
—William Dunbar (c. 1465–c. 1530)

“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
