Famous quotes containing the words kingdom of and/or kingdom:

    No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 9:62.

    Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
