Mystery Plays

Famous quotes containing the words mystery and/or plays:

    So we’ll live,
    And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
    At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
    Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them too—
    Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out—
    And take upon ‘s the mystery of things,
    As if we were God’s spies.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In all the wide gamut of human experience, nothing plays so important a part as faith.... Faith that is as broad as the heavens and as wide as the earth. Faith that comprehends in its vast sympathies everything human as well as divine, and carries one with the swift sure wings of the angels directly to his goal.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
