Wisdom of The Elders

Famous quotes containing the words wisdom of, wisdom and/or elders:

    Now that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Nevertheless, wisdom is vindicated by all her children.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 7:35.

    As a Christian, as an individual, as a doctor, I am absolutely opposed to the death penalty.
    —Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
