Famous quotes containing the words perpetual and/or curate:
“It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
“It is indolence ... indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
