Famous quotes containing the word son:

    The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 26:24.

    As the son straddled
    the husband’s back
    when he fell at her feet,
    the housewife,
    though burnt by certain anger,
    began to laugh.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Vigil strange I kept on the field one night;
    When you my son and my comrade dropt at my side that day,
    One look I but gave which your dear eyes return’d with a look I
    shall never forget,
    One touch of your hand to mine O boy, reach’d up as you lay on the ground,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
