Famous quotes containing the word holy:
“We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
To teach belief in good and still devotion,
To preach of heavens wonders and delights
Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
—Fulke Greville (15541628)

Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.”
