Harry Blamires Quotes

You Have Heard That Evil Is A Perversion Of The Good. The Greatest Goods Can Be Perverted Into The Greatest Evils. The Poor Man Has Not The Opportunities For Covetousness And Self-indulgence Which The Rich Man Enjoys. The Unlettered Man Has Not The Opportunities For Intellectual Pride And Arrogance Which The Scholar May Succumb To. An Irreligious Man May Prostitute The Flesh; But It Takes A 'religious' Man To Prostitute The Things Of The Spirit And The Church Of God. Every Gift, Every Insight, Ever Vision, Every Talent Brings Its Demand For Self-forgetfulness In Sanctified Service: Each Brings Its Opportunities For Richer Worship Or For More Damnable Self-love. The Slum Labourer May Pervert Beer And Steak To The Sole End Of Abusing An Indulged Body. It Takes A Bishop To Pervert Episcopacy To The Service Of Self-indulgence; It Takes A Monk To Pervert The Religious Life To The Service Of Pride.
