Famous quotes containing the word judas:
“Yet I well remember
The favors of these men. Were they not mine?

Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
“You show me a politician with his heels ten feet in the air, and by Judas priest, I’ll show you an honest politician.”
