Sanctifying Grace

Famous quotes containing the words sanctifying and/or grace:

    Make gracious attempts at sanctifying Jenny,
    Supply cosmetics for the ordering of her frame,
    Think of her as Leda, as a goddess,
    Emptying a smile on Redkey, Indiana.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,
    That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,
    Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,
    Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,
    I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe:
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
