Neighbour

Famous quotes containing the word neighbour:

“In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

“It is grossly selfish to require of one’s neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“With close-lipp’d Patience for our only friend,
Sad Patience, too near neighbour to Despair.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
