Famous quotes containing the words protestant and/or population:

Who peed in a Catholic chalice.

It was done out of need
And not out of Protestant malice.”

“A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
