Pagan Prayer

Famous quotes containing the words pagan and/or prayer:

    So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God; the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    I have only ever made one prayer to God, a very short one: “O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.” And God granted it.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
