Water Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or baptism:

“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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