Thy Neighbor

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or neighbor:

    Thus, great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,
    Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:
    “Fool,” said my Muse to me, “look in thy heart and write!”
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    You may have known your neighbor yesterday for a thief, a drunkard, or a sensualist, and merely pitied or despised him, and despaired of the world; but the sun shines bright and warm this first spring morning, re-creating the world, and you ... feel the spring influence with the innocence of infancy, and all his faults are forgotten.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
