Cardinal Priests

Famous quotes containing the words cardinal and/or priests:

    Time and I against any two.
    —Spanish proverb.

    Quoted by Cardinal Mazarin during the minority of Louis XIV.

    Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile; ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you; say to the priests that you know God better than all of them together do, and that between God and His law you have no need of any intermediary. The people will understand you, and repeat with you: We believe in God the Father, who is Intelligence and Love, Creator and Teacher of Humanity. And in this saying you and the People will conquer.
    Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
