Shepherd Quotations
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse. Winston Churchill The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty. Abraham Lincoln The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones. Northrop Frye Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being. Martin Heidegger The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep. Laurence J. Peter |
