Bidding Prayer

Famous quotes containing the words bidding and/or prayer:

    A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
