Famous quotes containing the words libation, religious and/or practice:
“The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it.

The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.”

You are as brave as a motorcycle.”
