Every thought which genius and piety
throw into the world alters the world.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson
You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of
benevolence and virtue; I act with benevolence
and virtue and get murdered time after time.
?William Blake
The words which express our faith and
piety are not definite; yet they are significant and
fragrant like frankincense to superior natures.
?Henry David Thoreau
A wicked fellow is the most pious when
he takes to it. He'll beat you all at piety.
?Samuel Johnson
Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for
such as our life and conduct have been,
so also of necessity will be our dreams.
?Saint Basil
