Holy Scripture

Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or scripture:

“In sober mornings do not thou rehearse
The holy incantation of a verse;”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“There is on the earth no institution which Friendship has established; it is not taught by any religion; no scripture contains its maxims. It has no temple, nor even a solitary column. There goes a rumor that the earth is inhabited, but the shipwrecked mariner has not seen a footprint on the shore. The hunter has found only fragments of pottery and the monuments of inhabitants.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
