The education of young people is narrowing. They cannot have the scope they used to have. They are being taught in high school by people earnest, still, but maybe less well-prepared than we would want them to be - but not because they are stupid or churlish.
Frederick Busch
Image
When he lived on earth, [Jesus] surrounded himself with ordinary people who misunderstood him, failed to exercise much spiritual power, and sometimes behaved like churlish schoolchildren.
Philip Yancey
Image
This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
Image
When law enforcers are shown to have such unswerving integrity, only the most churlish among us would question the methods they use to get their man. Constitutional guarantees are regarded as bothersome technicalities that impede honest law enforcers in the performance of their duties.
Donna Woolfolk Cross
Image
A churlish courtesy rarely comes but either for gain or falsehood.
Philip Sidney
Image
Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, The seasons' difference, as the icy fang And churlish chiding of the winter's wind, Which, when it bites and blows upon my body, Even till I shrink with cold, I smile.
William Shakespeare
Image

William Shakespeare
