Famous quotes containing the words lives and/or saints:

    O life unlike to ours!
    Who fluctuate idly without term or scope,
    Of whom each strives, nor knows for what he strives,
    And each half lives a hundred different lives;
    Who wait like thee, but not, like thee, in hope.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    The countless words of saints and sages waken people from their dreams.
    Chinese proverb.
