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)

    There’s so much saint in the worst of them,
    And so much devil in the best of them,
    That a woman who’s married to one of them,
    Has nothing to learn of the rest of them.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
