Common Prayers

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or prayers:

“Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
May boldly deviate from the common track.
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
Which without passing through the judgment, gains
The heart, and all its end at once attains.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“As men’s prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
