Christian Blood

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or blood:

    Tyranny produces two results, exactly opposite in character, and which are symbolized in those two great types of the slave in classical times—Epictetus and Spartacus. The one is hatred with its evil train, the other meekness with its Christian graces.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    What if I look upon a man
    As though on my beloved,
    And my blood be cold the while
    And my heart unmoved?
    Why should he think me cruel
    Or that he is betrayed?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
