Famous quotes containing the words elder and/or brother:

    So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
    ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
    Of force must one, and forc’d but one allow;
    And the right; ask thy father which is she,
    let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
    Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    I need not say what match I would touch, what system endeavor to blow up; but as I love my life, I would side with the light, and let the dark earth roll from under me, calling my mother and my brother to follow.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
