Lord Rothschild

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or rothschild:

    For the LORD will not cast away his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 12:22.

    Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet. As if a child born into the Maine woods, among the pine cones and cedar berries, could not do without such a sugar-man or skipping-jack as the young Rothschild has.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
