Famous quotes containing the word egypt:

    “It is evident, from their method of propagation, that a couple of cats, in fifty years, would stock a whole kingdom; and if that religious veneration were still paid them, it would, in twenty more, not only be easier in Egypt to find a god than a man, which Petronius says was the case in some parts of Italy; but the gods must at last entirely starve the men, and leave themselves neither priests nor votaries remaining.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “Go down, Moses
    ‘Way down in Egypt land,
    Tell ole Pharaoh,
    To let my people go.”
    —Unknown. Go Down, Moses (l. 1–4)

    “The great pagan world of which Egypt and Greece were the last living terms ... once had a vast and perhaps perfect science of its own, a science in terms of life. In our era this science crumbled into magic and charlatanry. But even wisdom crumbles.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
