Quotes #13: The Whispers of God: Famous Quotes on Angels

All About Angels

The word 'angel' means messenger in Hebrew and Greek. Angels are defined in the Catholic Encyclopedia (the only place I found them defined) as any "any agent God sends forth to execute his purposes" and to carry "on his government of the world."

The ever efficient angels helped me put together this page of quotes and so I will let them speak for themselves.

Yet I would warn thee, World: Treat well whom thou call'st fool'..."
