Saints

Famous quotes containing the word saints:

    “The Saints come,
    as human as a mouth,
    with a bag of God in their backs,
    like a hunchback,
    they come,
    they come marching in.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Up the Rebels, To Hell with the Pope,
    And God Save—as you prefer—the King or Ireland.
    The land of scholars and saints:
    Scholars and saints my eye, the land of ambush,
    Purblind manifestoes, never-ending complaints,”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “For all the saints who from their labors rest,
    Who, to the world their steadfast faith confessed,
    your name, O Jesus, be forever blessed
    Alleluia!”
    —William Walsham How (1823–1897)
