God Save

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or save:

“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

“It was said of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, that she never puts dots over her i’s, to save ink.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
