State Mass

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or mass:

“Men judge by the complexion of the sky
The state and inclination of the day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
