Du Temple Water

Famous quotes containing the words temple and/or water:

    Lord, how can man preach thy eternall word?
    He is a brittle crazie glasse:
    Yet in thy temple thou dost him afford
    This glorious and transcendent place,
    To be a window, through thy grace.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    I pray thee, cease thy counsel,
    Which falls into mine ears as profitless
    As water in a sieve.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
