Thomas à Kempis

"From first to last Jesus is the same; always the same, majestic and simple, infinitely severe and infinitely gentle."

Napoleon I

"He, the Holiest among the mighty, and the Mightiest among the holy, has lifted with His pierced hands empires off their hinges, has turned the stream of centuries out of its channel, and still governs the ages."

Richter

"In His death He is a sacrifice, satisfying for our sins; in the resurrection, a conqueror; in the ascension, a king; in the intercession, a high priest."

Martin Luther

"Jesus Christ was more than man."

Napoleon I

"The sages and heroes of history are receding from us, and history contracts the record of their deeds into a narrower and narrower page. But time has no power over the name and deeds and words of Jesus Christ."

Channing

"Alexander, Cæsar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded empires; but upon what do these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love; and to this very day millions would die for Him."

Napoleon I

"If the life and death of Socrates were those of a sage, the life and death of Jesus were those of a God."
