Left Arm Orthodox

Famous quotes containing the words left, arm and/or orthodox:

    Wealth brings many friends, but the poor are left friendless.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 19:4.

    the uncomfortable angels that rot
    On the slabs, a wing chipped here, an arm there:
    The brute curiosity of an angel’s stare
    Turns you, like them, to stone....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The gloomy theology of the orthodox—the Calvinists—I do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notions—nay, most of the notions—which orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
