False Lights

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or lights:

    These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 6:16-19.

    Glorious the northern lights astream;
    Glorious the song, when God’s the theme
    Glorious the thunder’s roar:
    Glorious hosanna from the den;
    Glorious the catholic amen;
    Glorious the martyr’s gore:

    Glorious—more glorious is the crown
    Of him that brought salvation down
    By meekness, called thy Son;
    Thou that stupendous truth believed,
    And now the matchless deed’s achieved,
    Determined, Dared, and Done.
    Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
