Famous quotes containing the words persecuted and/or christians:
“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians.
