Famous quotes containing the word called:
“I thought how sadly beauty of inscape was unknown and buried away from simple people and yet how near at hand it was if they had eyes to see it and it could be called out everywhere again.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The opportunities of living are diminished in proportion as what are called the “means” are increased.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called. I am called to help the individual; to love each poor person. Not to deal with institutions. I am in no position to judge.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
