Famous quotes containing the words faith and/or healer:
“They make a great ado nowadays about hard times; but I think that ... this general failure, both private and public, is rather occasion for rejoicing, as reminding us whom we have at the helm,—that justice is always done. If our merchants did not most of them fail, and the banks too, my faith in the old laws of the world would be staggered.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When a tongue fails to send forth appropriate shafts, there might be a word to act as healer of these.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
