Thy Neighbor

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or neighbor:

    For and if thou canst answer my questions three,
    Thy life and thy living both saved shall be.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 75–76)

    Do what you know you ought to do. Why should we ever go abroad, even across the way, to ask a neighbor’s advice? There is a nearer neighbor within us incessantly telling us how we should behave. But we wait for the neighbor without to tell us of some false, easier way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
