“We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.”
Bible
“Can an ass be tragic? To perish under a burden one can neither bear nor throw off? The case of the philosopher.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains.”
Proverb
“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father's name.”
Sam Houston
“Rome shall perish - write that word / In the blood that she has spilt.”
William Cowper
“When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.”
Carl Sandburg
“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. (Psalms 2:12)”
