Famous quotes containing the word expressions:

    Many expressions in the New Testament come naturally to the lips of all Protestants, and it furnishes the most pregnant and practical texts. There is no harmless dreaming, no wise speculation in it, but everywhere a substratum of good sense. It never reflects, but it repents. There is no poetry in it, we may say, nothing regarded in the light of beauty merely, but moral truth is its object. All mortals are convicted by its conscience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Let it be signified to me through any channel ... that the possession of the Floridas would be desirable to the United States, and in sixty days it will be accomplished.
    ...penned in the language of truth, and divested of those expressions of servility which would persuade his majesty that we are asking favors and not rights.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.
    Thomas Bowdler (1754–1825)
