“Remember, he was a fanatic, and there is no fanatic like a religious fanatic.”
Hercule Poirot’s Early Cases (1974)

“Meek — as the meek that shall inherit earth,
Pure — as the pure in heart that shall see God.”
Poems (1866), Our Father's Business
Context: This, this is Thou. No idle painter's dream
Of aureoled, imaginary Christ,
Laden with attributes that make not God;
But Jesus, son of Mary; lowly, wise,
Obedient, subject unto parents, mild,
Meek — as the meek that shall inherit earth,
Pure — as the pure in heart that shall see God.

“The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights.”
