Famous quotes containing the words wesley and/or believed:

“And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

“Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
