Bronze Saints

Famous quotes containing the words bronze and/or saints:

    Both nuns and mothers worship images,
    But those the candles light are not as those
    That animate a mother’s reveries,
    But keep a marble or a bronze repose.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    O cunning enemy, that to catch a saint,
    With saints doth bait thy hook! Most dangerous
    Is that temptation that doth goad us on
    To sin in loving virtue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
