Famous quotes containing the words hugo and/or pratt:

    “Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “When the Church of Jesus
    Shuts its outer door,
    Lest the roar of traffic
    Drown the voice of prayer:
    May our prayers, Lord, make us
    Ten times more aware
    That the world we banish
    Is our Christian care.”
    —Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
