Parson Russell

Famous quotes containing the words parson and/or russell:

    But country folks who live beneath
    The shadow and the steeple;
    The parson and the parson’s wife,
    And mostly married people;
    Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)

    Sincerity is impossible, unless it pervade the whole being, and the pretence of it saps the very foundation of character.
