Orthodox Faith

Famous quotes containing the words orthodox and/or faith:

    “All orthodox opinion—that is, today, “revolutionary” opinion either of the pure or the impure variety—is anti-man.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “A noble person confers no such gift as his whole confidence: none so exalts the giver and the receiver; it produces the truest gratitude. Perhaps it is only essential to friendship that some vital trust should have been reposed by the one in the other. I feel addressed and probed even to the remotest parts of my being when one nobly shows, even in trivial things, an implicit faith in me.... A threat or a curse may be forgotten, but this mild trust translates me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
