Famous quotes containing the words distinctive and/or doctrines:
“We see us as we truly behave:
From every corner comes a distinctive offering.
The train comes bearing joy....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The gloomy theology of the orthodox—the Calvinists—I do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notions—nay, most of the notions—which orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
