Jesus Called Christ

Famous quotes containing the words jesus, called and/or christ:

    Each man too is a tyrant in tendency, because he would impose his idea on others; and their trick is their natural defence. Jesus would absorb the race; but Tom Paine or the coarsest blasphemer helps humanity by resisting this exuberance of power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    She has not grown uncivil
    As narrow natures would
    And called the pleasures evil
    Happier days thought good....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    O singers, resinous and soft your songs
    Above the sacred whisper of the pines,
    Give virgin lips to cornfield concubines,
    Bring dreams of Christ to dusky cane-lipped throngs.
    Jean Toomer (1894–1967)
