10 QUOTES WITH «THE HOLY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word the holy.
1
Karen Armstrong
In the holy city of Mecca, violence of any kind was forbidden. From the moment they left home, pilgrims were not permitted to carry weapons, to swat an insect or speak an angry word, a discipline that introduced them to a new way of living.
2
Saint Bernard
Even the holy men who lived before the coming of Christ understood that God had in mind plans of peace for the human race.
3
Jakob Bohme
The pure Deity is in all places and all corners, and present every where all over: the birth of the holy Trinity in one essence is every where: and the angelical world reacheth to every part, wherever you can think, even in the midst of the earth, stones, and rocks: as also hell and the kingdom of God's wrath is every where all over.
4
Jakob Bohme
The holy angels live and qualify in the light, in the good quality wherein the holy Ghost reigneth. The devils live and reign in the fierce wrathful quality, in the quality of fierceness and wrath, destruction or perdition.
5
Joseph Brodsky
Life is a game with many rules but no referee. One learns how to play it more by watching it than by consulting any book, including the holy book. Small wonder, then, that so many play dirty, that so few win, that so many lose.

8
Ismail Haniyeh
We came to say, the Quran is our constitution, we are committed to God and his holy book. God willing, should they try to carry out their crime against the Quran, God will tear their state apart and they will become God's lesson to anyone who tries to desecrate the holy book.

Robert Green Ingersoll
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
