Famous quotes containing the words river and/or mouth:

In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”

“Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.”
