Famous quotes containing the words temple and/or tanks:

    “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)

    “Today, almost forty years later, I grow dizzy when I recall that the number of manufactured tanks seems to have been more important to me than the vanished victims of racism.”
    —Albert Speer (1905–1981)
