Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or burke:

    I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.
    Bible: New Testament Acts, 10:34.

    Said by Peter at Caesarea; similar wording is found in Romans 2:11: “There is no respect of persons with God.”

    We must soften into a credulity below the milkiness of infancy to think all men virtuous. We must be tainted with a malignity truly diabolical, to believe all the world to be equally wicked and corrupt.
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
