Solemn High Mass

Famous quotes containing the words solemn, high and/or mass:

    The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In rhetoric, this art of omission is a chief secret of power, and, in general, it is proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is strange to contemplate how little sympathy or encouragement the great mass of people have with one who differs from them in tastes, to the extent of desiring an education, while they are content with little or none.
    Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
