Christian Piety

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or piety:

    My Christian friends, in bonds of love, whose hearts in sweetest union join,
    Your friendship’s like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
    Your company’s sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
    Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.
    John Blain (18th century)

    Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
