Church Built

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or built:

“The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“So they built as men must build
With the sword in one hand and the trowel in the other.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
