Oriental Orthodox

Famous quotes containing the words oriental and/or orthodox:

    Europe has always owed to oriental genius its divine impulses. What these holy bards said, all sane men found agreeable and true.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
    You may get a bland smile from these sages;
    But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
    Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
