Famous quotes containing the words congregation of, congregation, saint and/or anthony:

    This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
    o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with
    golden fire, why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    re-enact at the vestry-glass
    Each pulpit gesture in deft dumb-show
    That had moved the congregation so.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    A saint is good who wanders constantly.
    Water is good which flows continuously.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
