8 QUOTES WITH «HOLIEST»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word holiest.
1
Mustafa Akyol
While no Muslim worthy of his name would lose his respect for God, the Prophet Muhammad, and other symbols of Islam, he might well refrain from using legal prosecution or violent reaction to those who do not show the same respect. My basis for this claim is nothing other than the holiest source of Islam, the Quran.
2
Kage Baker
According to Jewish legend, only the very wisest and very holiest rabbis had the power to make golems, animated servants of clay. Strictly speaking, the golem is not in the same class with Frankenstein's monster, because the golem is neither alive nor dead. He is, rather, the ancestor of all robots.
3
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
4
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.

Petrarch
Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.
7
Jean Racine
Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.
8
Muqtada al Sadr
I will continue to defend Najaf as it is the holiest place. I will remain in the city until the last drop of my blood has been spilled.
