Famous quotes containing the word christian:

    As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    My Christian friends, in bonds of love, whose hearts in sweetest union join,
    Your friendship’s like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
    Your company’s sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
    Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.
    John Blain (18th century)
