DRUMMOND, William Quotes

(1585-1649), Scottish poet

Christianity

"Learn of me," says the philosopher, "and ye shall find restlessness." " Learn of me," says Christ, "and ye shall  find  rest."

Christ built no church, wrote no book, left no money, and erected no monuments; yet show me ten square miles in the whole earth without Christianity, where the life of man and the purity of women are respected, and I will give up Christianity.

Quiet

What sweet delight a quiet life affords.

Reason

He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; and he that dares not reason is a slave.
