Famous quotes containing the words david and/or lowry:

    “Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. It not only divides States and churches, it divides families; ay, it divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Shall we gather at the river,
    Where bright angel feet have trod;
    With its crystal tide for ever,
    Flowing by the throne of God?”
    —Robert Lowry (1826–1899)
