Native Preachers

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or preachers:

    Happy the man whose wish and care
    A few paternal acres bound,
    Content to breathe his native air
    In his own ground:
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    It is an evil world. The fires of hatred and violence burn fiercely. Evil is powerful, the devil covers a darkened earth with his black wings. And soon the end of the world is expected. But mankind does not repent, the church struggles, and the preachers and poets warn and lament in vain.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
