Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or works:
“Silence, indifference and inaction were Hitler’s principal allies.”
—Immanuel, Baron Jakobovits (b. 1921)
“Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
