Seventh Day Adventists

Famous quotes containing the words seventh day, seventh and/or day:

    Thus we steadily worship Mammon, both school and state and church, and on the seventh day curse God with a tintamar from one end of the Union to the other.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    One day beside some flowers near his nose
    He will be thinking, When will I look at it?
    And pain, still in the middle distance, will reply,
    At what? and he will know it’s gone,
    O where! and begin to tremble and cry.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
