Forget Thee Jerusalem

Famous quotes containing the words forget, thee and/or jerusalem:

    I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn’t even say that this was hard to stomach; really, there’s no idea to which one doesn’t get acclimatized in time.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Day by day, dear Lord, of thee three things I pray:
    to see thee more clearly,
    love thee more dearly,
    follow thee more nearly,
    day by day.
    Richard Of Chichester (1197–1253)

    Comfort, comfort ye my people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
    comfort those who sit in darkness mourning ‘neath their sorrows’ load.
    Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them;
    tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over.
    Johann G. Olearius (1611–1684)
