Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or fleetwood:

    The common consolation which some good christian or other, is hourly administering to himself,—that he thanks God his mind does not misgive him; and that, consequently, he has a good conscience, because he has a quiet one,—is fallacious.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    I sowed the seeds of love,
    It was all in the spring,
    In April, May, and June, likwise,
    When small birds they do sing.
    —Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)
