Quotes

  • Nothing enlarges more the gulf of atheism, than that wide passage, which lies between the faith and lives of men pretending to be Christians.
  • "My Lord," a certain nobleman is said to have observed to the bishop, after sitting next to Bentley at dinner, "that chaplain of yours is a very extraordinary man." Stillingfleet agreed, adding, "Had he but the gift of humility, he would be the most extraordinary man in Europe."
