Prophecies

Famous quotes containing the word prophecies:

    Man has an incurable habit of not fulfilling the prophecies of his fellow men.
    Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)

    The Old Testament teems with prophecies of the Messiah, but nowhere is it intimated that that Messiah is to stand as a God to be worshipped. He is to bring peace on earth, to build up the waste places—to comfort the broken-hearted, but nowhere is he spoken of as a deity.
    Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

    Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
