Thy Neighbor

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or neighbor:

    Ah! that thou couldst know thy joy,
    Ere it passes, barefoot boy!
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    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)
