Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or relics:

    We begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men. But so the remoter stars seem a nebula of united light, yet there is no group which a telescope will not resolve; and the dearest friends are separated by impassable gulfs.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What’s to do?
    Shall we go see the relics of this town?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
