Famous quotes containing the words oriental, orthodox and/or communion:

    “The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter. Western philosophers have not conceived of the significance of Contemplation in their sense.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
    You may get a bland smile from these sages;
    But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
    Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet
    Quaff immortality and joy.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
