Browse Quotations about Churches

A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.

A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.
A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.

And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded; it is supposed to be one-pointed -- a compass, not a weathercock.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
