Famous quotes containing the word house:

    And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell-and great was its fall!
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 7:26-27.

    Jesus.

    Thou hast an house on high erect,
    Framed by that mighty Architect,
    With glory richly furnished,
    Stands permanent though this be fled.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
