Famous quotes containing the words david and/or montgomery:
“He has the earnestness of a prophet. In an age of pedantry and dilettantism, he has no grain of these in his composition. There is nowhere else, surely, in recent readable English, or other books, such direct and effectual teaching, reproving, encouraging, stimulating, earnestly, vehemently, almost like Mahomet, like Luther.... His writings are a gospel to the young of this generation; they will hear his manly, brotherly speech with responsive joy, and press forward to older or newer gospels.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
Thy table in our heart.”
—James Montgomery (1771–1854)
