Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or house:
“We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
To teach belief in good and still devotion,
To preach of heavens wonders and delights
Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
—Fulke Greville (15541628)
“You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of itlow, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passionand sneering at everything noble refined and truly national. The direct tyranny will come on by and by, after it shall have gratified the multitude with the spoil and ruin of the old institutions of the land.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (17721834)
