Famous quotes containing the words status and/or jerusalem:

    The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Comfort, comfort ye my people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God;

    tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over.
    Johann G. Olearius (1611–1684)
