Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or translations:

    “Germany is a queer country: one can’t regard it dispassionately. I alternate between hating it thoroughly, stick, stock and stone, and yearning over it fit to break my heart. I can’t help feeling it a young and adorable country—adolescent—with the faults of adolescence.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “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.”
