Campbell Black

Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or black:

    It may be strange—yet who would change
    Time’s course to slower speeding,
    When one by one our friends have gone
    And left our bosoms bleeding?
    —Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)

    Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.
