Bear True Faith

Famous quotes containing the words bear, true and/or faith:

    Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    He may not shine with courtly graces,
    But yet, his kind, respectful air
    To woman, whatsoe’er her place is,
    It might be well if kings could share.
    So, for the chivalric true gentleman,
    Give me, I say, our own American.
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)

    Our age is an age of moderate virtue
    And of moderate vice
    When men will not lay down the Cross
    Because they will never assume it.
    Yet nothing is impossible, nothing,
    To men of faith and conviction.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
