Famous quotes containing the words ambassadors, lived and/or house:

    “So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us...”
    —Bible: New Testament, 2 Corinthians 5:20.

    “I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men’s lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Ladies and gents. The time has passed. The time has passed. Got to be a better way. I say to you, can’t any longer, oh no, can’t any longer, play off black against old, young against poor.
    This country cannot house its houseless. Feed its foodless. They’re demanding a government of the people. Peopled by people. Our faith. Our compassion. Our courage on the gridiron. The basic
    indifference that made this country great.”
    —Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter, and Michael Ritchie. Bill McKay (Robert Redford)
