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)

    “Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past;
    Begin these woodbirds but to couple now?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
