Fasting Days

Famous quotes containing the words fasting and/or days:

    Did the first men who thought of fasting put themselves on this regimen on their physician’s order, because they had indigestion?
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    You must not eat with it anything leavened. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it -the bread of affliction -because you came out of the land of Egypt in great haste, so that all the days of your life you may remember the day of your departure from the land of Egypt.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 16:3.
