Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or language:
“God of justice, God of mercy,
Make us merciful and just!
Help us see all your creation
As from you a sacred trust.
And when people cry in anguish
For their own or others’ pain,
Show us ways to make a difference
O dear God, make us humane!”
—Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
“Jargon: any technical language we do not understand.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
