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)

    No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
