Common Prayers

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or prayers:

“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)

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