Handed Sword

Famous quotes containing the words handed and/or sword:

    If ... we admit a divinity, why not divine worship? and if worship, why not religion to teach this worship? and if a religion, why not the Christian, if a better cannot be assigned, and it be already established by the laws of our country, and handed down to us from our forefathers?
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    With a pen in my hand I have successfully stormed bulwarks from which others armed with sword and excommunication have been repulsed.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
