Famous quotes containing the words holiness and/or church:
“I like his holiness very much, particularly since an order, which I understand he has lately given, that no more miracles shall be performed.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
