Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

“...and the angels waited on him.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 1:13.

Of Jesus during the temptation.

“It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
