Neighbor

Famous quotes containing the word neighbor:

    What cannot stand must fall; and the measure of our sincerity and therefore of the respect of men, is the amount of health and wealth we will hazard in the defence of our right. An old farmer, my neighbor across the fence, when I ask him if he is not going to town-meeting, says: “No, ‘t is no use balloting, for it will not stay; but what you do with the gun will stay so.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It was my thirtieth year to heaven
    Woke to my hearing from harbor and neighbor wood
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Everything depends on the value we give to things. We are the ones who make morality and virtue. The cannibal who eats his neighbor is as innocent as the child who sucks his barley-sugar.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
