Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or faith:
“It is necessary not to be Christian to appreciate the beauty and significance of the life of Christ.”

“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
