Famous quotes containing the word judas:

    Yet I well remember
    The favors of these men. Were they not mine?
    Did they not sometimes cry “All hail!” to me?
    So Judas did to Christ; but He, in twelve,
    Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
