Sliding Block

Famous quotes containing the words sliding and/or block:

“Here at the fountain’s sliding foot,
Or at some fruit-tree’s mossy root,
Casting the body’s vest aside,
My soul into the boughs does glide:
There, like a bird, it sits and sings,
Then whets and combs its silver wings,
And, till prepared for longer flights,
Waves in its plumes the various light.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 16:23.

Jesus to Peter.
