Famous quotes containing the words jesus christ, books, jesus and/or christ:

    “Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    “When Jesus wept, the falling tear
    in mercy flowed beyond all bound;
    when Jesus groaned, a trembling fear
    seized all the guilty world around.”
    —William Billings (1746–1800)

    “To eat bread is one thing; to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
