At about that time I was once sitting at my place and whispering--it was naughty, I know--with my neighbor. Then you, Herr Profess...or Rudner, got up from your desk, came calmly down the aisle to me: "Did you speak?" and slapped me smack in the face. And I--the fury is inside me to this day--I didn't hit back. Such were the methods of objectivity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What cannot stand must fall; and the measure of our sincerity and therefore of the respect of men, is the amount of health and wea...lth we will hazard in the defence of our right. An old farmer, my neighbor across the fence, when I ask him if he is not going to town-meeting, says: "No, 't is no use balloting, for it will not stay; but what you do with the gun will stay so."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the line... And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics... are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There was so much of the Indian accent resounding through his English, so much of the "bow-arrow tang" as my neighbor calls it....... It was a wild and refreshing sound, like that of the wind among the pines, or the booming of the surf on the shore.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"And get a comfortable wife and house To rid me of the devil in my shoes,"... Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck, "And the worse devil that is between my thighs."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before... me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work -you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Thirty-five years ago, when I was a college student, people wrote letters. The businessman who read, the lawyer who traveled; the ...dressmaker in evening school, my unhappy mother, our expectant neighbor: all conducted an often large and varied correspondence. It was the accustomed way of ordinarily educated people to occupy the world beyond their own small and immediate lives.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In the race for wealth, a neighbor tries to outdo his neighbor, but this strife is good for men. For the potter envies potter, and... the carpenter the carpenter, and the beggar rivals the beggar, and the singer the singer.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
