Famous quotes containing the word christ:

    To eat bread is one thing; to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Ring out the darkness of the land,
    Ring in the Christ that is to be.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    If sometimes our poor people have had to die of starvation, it is not that God didn’t care for them, but because you and I didn’t give, were not an instrument of love in the hands of God, to give them that bread, to give them that clothing; because we did not recognize him, when once more Christ came in distressing disguise, in the hungry man, in the lonely man, in the homeless child, and seeking for shelter.
    Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
