Famous quotes containing the words ambassadors, lived and/or house:

    “So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us...”
    —Bible: New Testament, 2 Corinthians 5:20.

    “Living more lives than one, knowing people of all classes, all shades of opinion, monarchists, republicans, socialists, anarchists, has had a salutary effect on my mind. If every year of my life, every month of the year, I had lived with reformers and crusaders I should be, by this time, a fanatic. As it is I have had such varied things to do, I have had so many different contacts that I am not even very much of a crank.”
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    “The welcome house of him my dearest guest.
    Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,
    Till natures sad decree shall call thee hence;
    Flesh of thy flesh, bone of thy bone,
    I here, thou there, yet both but one.”
    —Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
