National Evangelical Friends

Famous quotes containing the words national, evangelical and/or friends:

    In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)

    Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    There the traveler meets, aghast,
    Sheeted memories of the past—
    Shrouded forms that start and sigh
    As they pass the wanderer by—
    White-robed forms of friends long given,
    In agony, to the earth—and heaven.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
