Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Bible James Anthony Froude: The Bible is in and of itself a liberal education. John Dryden: If everything else in our language should perish, the Bible alone would suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power. Alfred Tennyson: The Bible ought to be read, were it only for the sake of the grand English in which it is written. Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar in point of style. Ralph Waldo Emerson: Shakespeare leans upon the Bible. Thomas H. Huxley: The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the poor and the oppressed. Lyof A. Tolstoy: Without the Bible the education of the child in the present state of society is impossible. Giuseppe Garibaldi: The best of allies you can procure for us is the Bible. That will bring us the reality of freedom. Napoleon Bonaparte: Behold it upon this table. I never omit to read it, and every day with the same pleasure. . . Not only is one´s mind absorbed, it is controlled; and the same can never go astray with this book for its guide. John Quincy Adams: The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. Thomas Paine: As a composition it [the Bible] is sublime, beautiful, and scientific; full of sentiment, and abounding in grand metaphorical description. Daniel Webster: The Bible is the book of all others for lawyers as well as divines; and I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich supply of thought, and rule for conduct. Goethe: It is a belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life.
