Bible: Hebrew Genesis 2:9-10.

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or genesis:

    A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 18:19.

    Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
