Famous quotes containing the words star of, star and/or india:

    Never tell me that not one star of all
    That slip from heaven at night and softly fall

    For rigorous teachers seized my youth,
    And purged its faith, and trimm’d its fire,
    Show’d me the high, white star of Truth,
    There bade me gaze, and there aspire.
    Even now their whispers pierce the gloom:
    What dost thou in this living tomb?
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.
