Famous quotes containing the word injury:

“At last, an injury suffered brings you back to my bed, expelling you from the doors of another!”

“Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher; and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.”
