Famous quotes containing the word clergymen:

    “His creed no parson ever knew,
    For this was still his “simple plan,”
    To have with clergymen to do
    As little as a Christian can.”
    —Francis, Sir Doyle (1810–1888)

    “Two clergymen disputing whether ordination would be valid without the imposition of both hands, the more formal one said, “Do you think the Holy Dove could fly down with only one wing?””
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
