Everlasting Gospel

Famous quotes containing the words everlasting and/or gospel:

    I see, smell, taste, hear, feel, that everlasting Something to which we are allied, at once our maker, our abode, our destiny, our very Selves; the one historic truth, the most remarkable fact which can become the distinct and uninvited subject of our thought, the actual glory of the universe; the only fact which a human being cannot avoid recognizing, or in some way forget or dispense with.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    peace hath her victories
    No less renowned than war; new foes arise,
    Threatening to bind our souls with secular chains:
    Help us to save free conscience from the paw
    Of hireling wolves whose gospel is their maw.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
