Sayings

Famous quotes containing the word sayings:

    Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.
    Edward Norman (b. 1946)

    What
    One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
    Between one’s self and the weather and the things
    Of the weather are the belief in one’s element,
    The casual reunions, the long-pondered
    Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
    There is nothing more and that it is enough....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    To speak impartially, both sayings are very true: that man to man is a kind of God; and that man to man is an arrant wolf. The first is true, if we compare citizens amongst themselves; and the second, if we compare cities.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
