A thousand years may scare form a state. An hour may lay it in ruins.

The doctrines & miracles of our Saviour have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small part of the human race, & even among Christian nations, what gross errors still exist!

I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old.

I might run from her for a thousand years and she is still my baby child. Our love is so furious that we burn each other out.

In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.

Women were free in older times when the Islamic nation was strong. There are so many examples in history, not more than a thousand years ago, when Muslim women were leaders, scientists, professionals, and so on.

You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet.

My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin - Binyamin - the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Sumeria 4,000 years ago, and there's been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since.

I don't want to give advice to people about their religious beliefs, but I do think that it's not smart to bet against the power of science to figure out the natural world. It used to be, a thousand years ago, that if you wanted to explain why the moon moved through the sky, you needed to invoke God.

Some mischievous people always there. Last several thousand years, always there. In future, also.

History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.

A thousand years will pass and the guilt of Germany will not be erased.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.
