The Reformation did not directly touch the question of the true character of God's church.

John Nelson Darby

For ethical fashion, I really like Reformation. It's so fashionable - no hemp trousers.

Aisling Bea

It has become impossible to forget 'votes for women,' just as it was impossible to forget the reformation of Luther.

Alice Paul

I've learned that even the word 'jubilee' used in connection with the Reformation can give rise to discussions.

Angela Merkel

For the uninitiated, 'Calvin and Hobbes' is a daily comic strip detailing the antics of an unruly six-year-old and his misanthropic stuffed tiger. The boy, whose vocabulary is packed with more 10-dollar words than a GRE flashcard set, is named after John Calvin, the Reformation-era theologian who preached the doctrine of predestination.

Anthony Marra

The tradition of putting candles on Christmas trees actually began in Germany. The person who came up with the idea is thought to have been Martin Luther, father of the Reformation.

Christopher Buckley

You notice how liberals keep saying, 'If only Islam would have a Reformation' - it can't have one. It says it can't. It's extremely dangerous in that way.

Christopher Hitchens

From Caesar's legions to the Napoleonic wars. From the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution to the defeat of nazism. We have helped to write European history, and Europe has helped write ours.

David Cameron

A disaffected America can be drawn into a civilized - but disruptive - dialogue about political change and reformation.

David Ignatius

Reformation ends not in contemplation, but in action.

George Gillespie

I'd like to write a history, maybe of the Reformation.

Jane Haddam

You can make yourself feel better about yourself if you project your shadow side, if you project your own potential for evil onto someone else. By annihilating them and, therefore, your shadow, you bring yourself into some state of purity or reformation.

Jennifer Beals

The Reformation did not directly touch the question of the true character of God's church.

John Nelson Darby

So much of our fictional medievalism is distorted through a lens of Protestantism and the Reformation, slanted even further through Victorian anti-Catholicism. The depiction of actual medieval attitudes toward the Church is remarkably rare.

Judith Tarr

A judgment pronounced in accordance with the facts can therefore assign to it an historical place only within that movement of reformation which was brought to a victorious issue by King Josiah.

Julius Wellhausen

And finally, it was Deuteronomy that brought about the historical result of Josiah's reformation.

Julius Wellhausen

My official field was Tudor-Stuart England; I also considered myself reasonably competent when it came to Renaissance and Reformation Europe.

Lauren Willig

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.

Mary Harris Jones

The Protestant Reformation had a lot to do with the printing press, where Martin Luther's theses were reproduced about 250,000 times, and so you had widespread dissemination of ideas that hadn't circulated in the mainstream before.

Nate Silver

The story of Christian reformation, revival, and renaissance underscores that the darkest hour is often just before the dawn, so we should always be people of hope and prayer, not gloom and defeatism. God the Holy Spirit can turn the situation around in five minutes.

Os Guinness

My quest to meet Osama bin Laden began in North London early in 1997. In the Dollis Hill section, I contacted Khaled al-Fauwaz, the spokesman for a Saudi opposition group, the Advice and Reformation Committee, which bin Laden had founded.
