Famous quotes containing the word church:
“There warnt anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warnt any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summertime because its cool. If you notice, most folks dont go to church only when theyve got to; but a hog is different.”

“It is time that the Protestant Church, the Church of the Son, should be one again with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Father. It is time that man shall cease, first to live in the flesh, with joy, and then, unsatisfied, to renounce and to mortify the flesh.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The hippopotamuss day
Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
God works in a mysterious way
The Church can sleep and feed at once.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
