Jesus

Famous quotes containing the word jesus:

    His raising her up made her feel
    like a little girl again when she had a father
    who brushed the dirt from her eye.
    Indeed, she took hold of herself,
    knowing she owed Jesus a life,
    as sure-fire as a trump card.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    This one fact the world hates; that the soul becomes; for that forever degrades the past, turns all riches to poverty, all reputation to a shame, confounds the saint with the rogue, shoves Jesus and Judas equally aside.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Each man too is a tyrant in tendency, because he would impose his idea on others; and their trick is their natural defence. Jesus would absorb the race; but Tom Paine or the coarsest blasphemer helps humanity by resisting this exuberance of power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
