Saint Thomas Christian

Famous quotes containing the words saint, thomas and/or christian:

    Gentlemen in England now abed
    Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Shall it be male or female? say the cells,
    And drop the plum like fire from the flesh.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life; but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
