Edwin John Pratt

Famous quotes containing the words edwin and/or pratt:

    “Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humoured, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires.”
    —C.E.M. (Cyril Edwin Mitchinson)

    “When the Church of Jesus
    Shuts its outer door,
    Lest the roar of traffic
    Drown the voice of prayer:
    May our prayers, Lord, make us
    Ten times more aware
    That the world we banish
    Is our Christian care.”
    —Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
