Famous quotes containing the word gather:

    Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 6:25.26.

    Jesus.

    Come gather round me Parnellites
    And praise our chosen man,
    Stand upright on your legs awhile,
    Stand upright while you can,
    For soon we lie where he is laid
    And he is underground....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
