Works Set

Famous quotes containing the words works and/or set:

    Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
    Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)

    The eyes that drew from me such fervent praise,
    The arms and hands and feet and countenance
    Which made me a stranger in my own romance
    And set me apart from the well-trodden ways;
    Petrarch (1304–1374)
