Famous quotes containing the words home, rule and/or assembly:

What is the fruit of action.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.”
