Thy Father

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or father:

    Happy the man, and happy he alone,

    Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

    “In short, Isabella, since I cannot give you my son, I offer you myself.” -- “Heavens!” cried Isabella ... “what do I hear! You, my lord! You! my father in law! the father of Conrad! the husband of the virtuous and tender Hippolita!” -- “I tell you,” said Manfred imperiously, “Hippolita is no longer my wife; I divorce her from this hour.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
