Famous quotes containing the word worship:
“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Your worship speaks like a most thankful and reverend youth, and I praise God for you.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
