Imperial Privilege

Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or privilege:

    When your fathers fixed the place of GOD,
    And settled all the inconvenient saints,
    Apostles, martyrs, in a kind of Whipsnade,
    Then they could set about imperial expansion
    Accompanied by industrial development.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    It’s the generally accepted privilege of theologians to stretch the heavens, that is the Scriptures, like tanners with a hide.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
