Famous quotes containing the words wolfgang and/or huber:

    Whatever liberates our spirit, without also giving us mastery over ourselves, is destructive.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Christ has called us to new visions
    Here to celebrate and praise,
    Here confess our old divisions,
    Here our peace petitions raise.
    Come repentant, come forgiving,
    Come in joy and hope and prayer.
    Christ, once crucified, now living,
    Bids us faith and love to share.
    —Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
