Famous quotes containing the words angels and and/or angels:

    “Angels and ministers of grace defend us!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 16:19-22.
