National Spiritual Assembly

Famous quotes containing the words national, spiritual and/or assembly:

    In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    There is spiritual laughter
    Too hushed to be gay, too high: the happiness
    Of angels.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Our assembly being now formed not by ourselves but by the goodwill and sprightly imagination of our readers, we have nothing to do but to draw up the curtain ... and to discover our chief personage on the stage.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
