Visible Church

Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or church:

“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.”
