Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or pilgrimage:

    All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    The ripest fruit first falls, and so doth he.
    His time is spent; our pilgrimage must be.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
