Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or matthew:
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:12.
