Permanent Body

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or body:

    Thou hast an house on high erect,
    Framed by that mighty Architect,
    With glory richly furnished,
    Stands permanent though this be fled.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

    The uppermost idea with Hellenism is to see things as they really are; the uppermost ideas with Hebraism is conduct and obedience. Nothing can do away with this ineffaceable difference. The Greek quarrel with the body and its desires is, that they hinder right thinking; the Hebrew quarrel with them is, that they hinder right acting.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
