Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or frere:

    From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
    —Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890)

    A frere ther was, a wantowne and a merye,
    A lymytour, a ful solempne man.
    In alle the ordres foure is noon that kan
    So muchel of daliaunce and fair langage.
    He hadde maad ful many a mariage
    Of yonge wommen at his owene cost.
    Unto his ordre he was a noble post.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
