Blessed Virgin Mary

Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or virgin:

    That, if I chance to hold my peace,
    These stones to praise thee may not cease.
    Oh let thy blessed sacrifice be mine,
    And sanctify this altar to be thine.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    I am weaker than a woman’s tear,
    Tamer than sleep, fonder than ignorance,
    Less valiant than the virgin in the night,
    And skilless as unpractised infancy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
