Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or president:

    “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:76.

    Zechariah speaking about his son.

    “In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
    —Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
