Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or center:

    “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)

    “Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
