Picture Quotes In ancient times before the divine sojourn of the Savior took place, even to the saints death was terrible; all wept for the dead as though they perished. But now that the Savior has raised his body, death is no longer terrible; for all who believe in Christ trample on it as it were nothing and choose rather to die than deny their faith in Christ. And that devil that once maliciously exulted in death, now that its pains were loosed, remained the only one truly dead. —Athanasius of AlexandriaWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes When Edward Gibbon was writing about the fall of the Roman Empire in the late 18th century, he could argue that transportation hadn't changed since ancient times. An imperial messenger on the Roman roads could get from Rome to London even faster in A.D. 100 than in 1750. But by 1850, and even more obviously today, all of that has changed. —Walter Russell MeadWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Jerusalem (1804) And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic mills Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold Bring me my chariot of fire I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land —William BlakeWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes In the fabulous ages of ancient times the appellations of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were given to the planets as being the names of their principal heroes and divinities. In the present more philosophical era, it would hardly be allowable to have recourse to the same method, and call on Juno, Pallas, Apollo, or Minerva for a name to out new heavenly body. . . .

In other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. Everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought.

So after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half. —Haruki MurakamiWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
