Famous quotes containing the words today and/or church:
“Nobody can resist a ripe idea. The idea today is change.”
—Tansu Ciller (b. 1946)
“It is time that the Protestant Church, the Church of the Son, should be one again with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Father. It is time that man shall cease, first to live in the flesh, with joy, and then, unsatisfied, to renounce and to mortify the flesh.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
