An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh
Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.
William Hull
I spent, as you know, a year and a half in a clergyman's family and heard almost every Tuesday the very best, most earnest and most impressive preacher it has ever been my fortune to meet with, but it produced no effect whatever on my mind.
Alfred Russel Wallace
Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
George MacDonald
There is a species of person called a 'Modern Churchman' who draws the full salary of a beneficed clergyman and need not commit himself to any religious belief.
Evelyn Waugh
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding

Julius Streicher
To be a clergyman, and all that is compassionate and virtuous, ought to be the same thing.
Samuel Richardson

Herman Melville
