Famous quotes containing the words signs, crossing and/or guards:

    “[Christianity] endeavors equally to establish these two things: that God has set up in the Church visible signs to make himself known to those who should seek him sincerely, and that he has nevertheless so disguised them that he will only be perceived by those who seek him with all their heart.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Bodhidharma sailing the Yangtze on a reed
    Lenin in a sealed train through Germany
    Hsuan Tsang, crossing the Pamirs
    Joseph, Crazy Horse, living the last free
    starving high-country winter of their tribes.
    Surrender into freedom revolt into slavery—”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
    To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
    God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay
    A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
    Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
