Water Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or baptism:

“The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
...
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
—Bible: New Testament Matthew, 3:17.
