Famous quotes containing the word egypt:

    “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)

    “It flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands,
    Like some grave mighty thought threading a dream,”
    —Leigh Hunt (1784–1859)

    “The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 26:8.
