Referee Stopped Contest

Famous quotes containing the words stopped and/or contest:

    Here stopped the good old sire, and wept for joy
    In silent raptures of the hopeful boy.
    All arguments, but most his plays, persuade
    That for anointed dullness he was made.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.
    Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
