Priest Quotes

Autocracy cannot do without its twin agents: a hangman and a priest, the first to suppress popular resistance by force, the second to sweeten and embellish the lot of the oppressed with empty promises of a heavenly kingdom Picture Quote #1

I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal Picture Quote #1

There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior and the poet. To know, to kill and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practise what they call professions Picture Quote #1

Jesus was the temple to end all temples, the priest to end all priests, and the sacrifice to end all sacrifices Picture Quote #1

Conspiracy! Intrigue! A rapidly thickening plot! Add some bestiality and a lecherous priest and I’d say you have the beginnings of a beautiful novel Picture Quote #1

Every man is a priest, even involuntarily; his conduct is an unspoken sermon, which is forever preaching to others Picture Quote #1

In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them, and to effect this, they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer for their purposes Picture Quote #1

I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives... But this does not satisfy the priesthood. They must have a positive, a declared assent to all of their interested absurdities. My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest Picture Quote #1

My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest. The artificial structures they have built on the purest of all moral systems, for the purpose of deriving from it pence and power, revolts those who think for themselves, and who read in that system only what is really there Picture Quote #1

Are we to have a censor whose imprimatur shall say what books may be sold, and what we may buy? And who is thus to dogmatize religious opinions for our citizens? Whose foot is to be the measure to which ours are all to be cut or stretched? Is a priest to be our inquisitor, or shall a layman, simple as ourselves, set up his reason as the rule of what we are to read, and what we must believe? Picture Quote #1

And, moreover, when it happens that both are sincere and good, nothing will mix and amalgamate more easily than an old priest and an old soldier. In reality, they are the same kind of man. One has devoted himself to country upon earth, the other to his country in heaven; there is no other difference Picture Quote #1

It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can’t do this. A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world Picture Quote #1

Man cannot be enlightened through any organization, creed, dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through understanding the contents of his own mind, through observation, not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection Picture Quote #1

The sinner will not confess, nor will the priest receive his confession, if the veil of secrecy is removed Picture Quote #1

You know, I’ve got a confession to make myself. I’m not really a priest, I’ve just got my shirt on backwards Picture Quote #1

The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest, and not inferior to either in her mission Picture Quote #1

And so um, I knew that I really didn’t want to be a priest and didn’t want to be a celibate, though I could probably manage it. Um, and um, ultimately I left Picture Quote #1

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course Picture Quote #1

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys Picture Quote #1

Imagine using as an authority in the matter of marriage the opinion of a celibate priest! Picture Quote #1

The priest persuades a humble people to endure their hard lot, a politician urges them to rebel against it, and a scientist thinks of a method that does away with the hard lot altogether Picture Quote #1

The most ridiculous of all animals is a proud priest; he cannot use his own tools without cutting his own fingers Picture Quote #1

I did not see why the schoolmaster should be taxed to support the priest, and not the priest the schoolmaster Picture Quote #1

A nun, at best, is only half a woman, just as a priest is only half a man Picture Quote #1

But now I see well the old proverb is true: That parish priest forgetteth that ever he was a clerk! Picture Quote #1

A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend - and he’s a priest Picture Quote #1

Priest organizations around the country, both local and national, should realize that their membership has a serious image problem and undertake programs to improve it Picture Quote #1

It may be that there are magicians who are not also priests, but it would be hard to find a priest who is not, in some sense, a magician Picture Quote #1

The priest was on a roll: Each person you meet is worthy of your compassion! He prayed loudly. Sheep, too, the knitter mentally added Picture Quote #1
