Common Prayers

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or prayers:

“Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“When some one remarked that, with the addition of a chaplain, it would have been a perfect Cromwellian troop, he observed that he would have been glad to add a chaplain to the list, if he could have found one who could fill that office worthily. It is easy enough to find one for the United States Army. I believe that he had prayers in his camp morning and evening, nevertheless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
