Ame Church

Famous quotes containing the words ame and/or church:

“Nor I ame not where Christe is geven in pray
For mony, poison and traison at Rome,”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

“A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
