Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

    Here, my dear Lucy, hide these books. Quick, quick! Fling “Peregrine Pickle” under the toilette—throw “Roderick Random” into the closet—put “The Innocent Adultery” into “The Whole Duty of Man”; thrust “Lord Aimworth” under the sofa! cram “Ovid” behind the bolster; there—put “The Man of Feeling” into your pocket. Now for them.
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:16.

    Jesus to his disciples.

    To the innocent there are neither cherubim nor angels.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
