There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel.

It is not about the pasture of the sheep, but about their wool. [Lat., Non est de pastu ovium quaestio, sed de lana.]

I never weary of great churches. It is my favourite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral.

When once thy foot enters the church, be bare. God is more there than thou: for thou art there Only by his permission. Then beware, That leads from earth to heaven.

To Kerke the narre, from God more farre.

Who builds a church to God, and not to Fame, Will never mark the marble with his Name.
