Chrisitanity Quotes

“I was learning to recognize when God was speaking through someone. He repeats himself. He says it over and over because we are so stubborn, stupid and unwilling. And even scared.

“And do you think," said the schoolmaster, marking the glance she had thrown around, "That an unvisited grave, withered tree, a faded flower or two, tokens of forgetfulness or cold neglect? Do you think there are no deeds, far away from here, in which these dead may be best remembered?

"There is nothing," cried her friend, "no, no thing innocent or good, that dies, and is forgotten. Let us hold to that faith, or none. An infant, a prattling child, dying in its cradle, will live again in the better thoughts of those who loved it, and will play its part, through them, in the redeeming actions of the world, though its body be burnt to ashes or drowned in the deepest sea. There is not an angel added to the Host of Heaven but does its blessed work on earth in those that loved it here Forgotten! Oh, if the good deeds of human creatures could be traced to their source, how beautiful would even death appear; for how much charity, mercy and purified affection, would be seen to have their growth in dusty graves!”
― Charles Dickens , The Old Curiosity Shop

“Исчезли также и те институты предков, которые охраняли умеренность и воздержность женщин, когда ни одна женщина не носила золота, исключая одного пальца ради брачного кольца, которое жених давал в залог любви, когда женщины так воздерживались от вина, что одна матрона за отпечатание шкафчиков винного погреба была наказала от своих родственников голодною смертью, а другая во времена Ромула была безнаказанно умерщвлена своим мужем Метеннием за то, что дотронулась до вина.

Женщины должны были целовать своих родственников для того, чтобы последние могли судить о первых по их дыханию.

Где то счастие браков, которое зависело, конечно, от добрых нравов и благодаря чему почти в течение 600 лет от основания Рима ни один брак не был расторгнут?"
