Cross Oath

Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or oath:

    He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 27:42.

    On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
