More quotes by William Augustus Muhlenberg

Religion should never be held to account for inferior scholarship.

The head should not be furnished at the expense of the heart.

That heavenly music! what is it I hear?
The notes of the harpers ring sweet in mine ear.
And, see, soft unfolding those portals of gold,
The King all arrayed in his beauty behold!
