Famous quotes containing the words veneration and/or saint:

    Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    Fight on for Scottland and Saint Andrew
    Till you heare my whistle blowe.
    —Unknown. Sir Andrew Barton.
