Famous quotes containing the word thee:
“Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by lifes unresting sea!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (18091894)
“All which I took from thee I did but take,
Not for thy harms,
But just that thou mightst seek it in My arms.”
—Francis Thompson (18591907)
“My uncle Toby had scarce a heart to retalliate upon a fly.
Go,says he, one day at dinner, to an over-grown one which had buzzd about his nose ... go poor Devil, get thee gone, why should I hurt thee?This world surely is wide enough to hold both thee and me.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
