Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or wisdom:
“For them its out-of-date and outmoded to perform miracles; teaching the people is too like hard work, interpreting the holy scriptures is for schoolmen and praying is a waste of time; to shed tears is weak and womanish, to be needy is degrading; to suffer defeat is a disgrace and hardly fitting for one who scarcely permits the greatest of kings to kiss the toes of his sacred feet; and finally, death is an unattractive prospect, and dying on a cross would be an ignominious end.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 14661536)
“Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
