Apostles

Famous quotes containing the word apostles:

    A quiet conscience makes one so serene!
    Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded
    That all the Apostles would have done as they did.

    Throughout human history, the apostles of purity, those who have claimed to possess a total explanation, have wrought havoc among mere mixed-up human beings.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)

    A bettre preest I trowe that nowher noon ys.
    He waited after no pompe and reverence
    Ne maked hym a spiced conscience,
    But Cristes loore and his apostles twelve
    He taughte, but first he folwed it hymselve.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
