One may as well proverb

 One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.
  John Muir

 The museum resembles a cathedral. I'm sure that gothic cathedrals were a big inspiration. There was a time when people thought that art museums were replacing cathedrals and churches as a place where you could have a transfiguring experience.

 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, / By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; / And having an high priest over the house of God; / Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

 He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.
  Sinclair Lewis

 These old ballparks are like cathedrals in America. We don't have big old Gothic cathedrals like they do in Europe. But we got baseball parks.
  Jimmy Buffett

 He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.

 If child molestation is actually your concern, how come we don't see Bradley tanks knocking down Catholic churches?
  Bill Hicks

 I just pulled up two of my boats out of the water. The gas stations are full. People are filling their tanks.

 One of the distinctive elements is the tongue and groove ceilings. The roofs are designed to look like an inverted Noah's ark. They also have faux columns made of wood but painted to resemble marble, the stone used to build the cathedrals and churches left behind in the old country. She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter.

 It is a shame for the temple to lose all the trust built up over the years. At first I thought, since the temple is such a closed world, I should keep quiet. But people depend on the temple. The monks have to be a model for the public, and Komatsu cannot be respected.

 All of our drinking water is from rain and snow held in tanks. So if we don't get any moisture, we're in for some water rationing.

 We have to look hard at the film and take inventory. It's easy to panic, but we lost to Temple at Temple. There's a lot of teams who are going to lose to Temple at Temple.

 If the FBI's motivating factor for busting down the Koresh compound was child abuse, how come we never see Bradley tanks smashing into Catholic churches?
  Bill Hicks

 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

 We tried to reach all the churches in the county and everyone on the committee and on teams made sure that as many people and churches as possible know about Cancer Sunday. Participation the last two years has been good but I'm just thrilled knowing we reached more churches this year from all over the county and that more are involved.
