Famous quotes containing the word saints:

    The Saints come,
    as human as a mouth,
    with a bag of God in their backs,
    like a hunchback,
    they come,
    they come marching in.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is an art apart. Saint Francis of Assisi said—”All saints can do miracles, but few of them can keep hotel.”
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Up the Rebels, To Hell with the Pope,
    And God Save—as you prefer—the King or Ireland.
    The land of scholars and saints:
    Scholars and saints my eye, the land of ambush,
    Purblind manifestoes, never-ending complaints,
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
