Famous quotes containing the word christian:

    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)

    Washington’s birthday is as close to a secular Christmas as any Christian country dare come this side of blasphemy.
    Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
