Famous quotes containing the word souls:
“There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never ran”
—Sam Walter Foss (18581911)
“Catholics think of grace as a supernatural power which God dispenses, primarily through the Church and its sacraments, to purify the souls of naturally sinful human beings, and render them capable of holiness.... Protestants think of grace as an attribute of God rather than a gift from God. It is a shorthand term signifying Gods determination to love, forgive, and save His human children, however little they deserve it.”
—Louis Cassels, U.S. religious columnist. The Catholic-Protestant Differences, Whats the Difference?, Doubleday (1965)
“Less than five hundred souls inhabit the three quaint streets and the few narrow by-lanes and scattered farmsteads that constitute this small, decaying watering-place which may, indeed, be called a backwater of life without disrespect to its natives who possess, to this day, a salty individuality of their own.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
