Private Chapel

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or chapel:

    Private faces in public places
    Are wiser and nicer
    Than public faces in private places.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
