Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or works:

    “I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Nature is so perfect that the Trinity couldn’t have fashioned her any more perfect. She is an organ on which our Lord plays and the devil works the bellows.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
