Kingdom Period

Famous quotes containing the words kingdom and/or period:

    Rev. J.D. Liddell: The Kingdom of God is not a democracy. The Lord never seeks re- election. There’s no discussion. No deliberation. No referenda as to which road to take. There’s one right, one wrong. One absolute ruler.
    Sandy: A dictator, you mean.
    Rev. J.D. Liddell: Aye, but a benign, loving dictator.
    Colin Welland (b. 1934)

    Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)
