Eighth Spirit

Famous quotes containing the words eighth and/or spirit:

    We do not weary of eating and sleeping every day, for hunger and sleepiness recur. Without that we should weary of them. So, without the hunger for spiritual things, we weary of them. Hunger after righteousness—the eighth beatitude.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
