Blessed Virgin Mary

Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or virgin:

“He is blessed who is assured that the animal is dying out in him day by day, and the divine being established.”

“‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
She that has that is clad in complete steel,
And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
Will dare to soil her virgin purity.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
