Church Built

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or built:

    Seeing their children touched and seared and wounded by race prejudice is one of the heaviest crosses which colored women have to bear.
    —Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)

    Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
    Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
    Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
    Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,

    Who trusted God was love indeed
    And love Creation’s final law—
    Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
    With ravine, shrieked against his creed—
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
