|
| "Adam was but human ? this explains it all. He did not want the
apples for the apple?s sake, he wanted it only because it was
forbidden." | |
|
Mark Twain
|
|
| "Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners,
ditchers, and grave?makers; they hold up Adam"s profession." | |
|
William Shakespeare
|
|
| "I was not looking now at an unusual flower arrangement. I was seeing
what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation ? the miracle, moment by
moment, of naked existence." | |
|
Aldous Huxley
|
|

| "INFALAPSARIAN, n. One who ventures to believe that Adam need not
have sinned unless he had a mind to ? in opposition to the
Supralapsarians, who hold that that luckless person"s fall was decreed
from the beginning." | |
|
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
|
|
| "It is, of course, a trite observation to say that we live "in a
period of transition." Many people have said this at many times. Adam may
well have made the remark to Eve on leaving the Garden of Eden." | |
|
HAROLD MacMILLAN
|
|
| "It"s certain there is no fine thing Since Adam"s fall but needs much
laboring." | |
|
William Butler Yeats
|
|
| "Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees That half a
proper gardener?s work is done upon his knees, So when your work is
finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden,
that it may not pass away! And the Glory of the Garden, it shall never
pass away!" | |
|
Rudyard Kipling
|
|
| "The Angel ended, and in Adam"s ear So charming left his voice, that
he awhile Thought him still speaking, still stood fix"d to hear." | |
|
John Milton
|
|
| "The first recorded instruction given to Adam after the Fall dealt
with the eternal principle of work. The Lord said: "In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread." (Gen. 3:19.) Our Heavenly Father loves us so
completely that he has given us a commandment to work. This is one of the
keys to eternal life. He knows that we will learn more, grow more, achieve
more, serve more, and benefit more from a life of industry than from a life
of ease." | |

Howard W. Hunter

descent." | |

is paradise." | |

Oh! what a thousand pities then That Adam was not Adamant!" | |
