Visible Church

Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or church:

    Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Waste and void. Waste and void. And darkness on the face of the deep.
    Has the Church failed mankind, or has mankind failed the
    Church?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
