The relationship between the prophet and the President, the priest and the President, is a sacred one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A prophet is not without honor except in his own country among his own people.
I've heard my father say that the man is to be the priest, the provider, and the protector of his family. He's the priest because he is the spiritual leader, monitoring and growing the spiritual temperature of his family.
Whatever your relationship is to your sacred tradition in the West, you have some relationship to the Bible if only through the names of the characters.
A prophet is always much wider than his followers, much more liberal than those who label themselves with his name.
People have set that up as a standard, not to recognize a prophet in his own country.
I am not a prophet.
The priest is the personification of falsehood.
I respect the office of the presidency, but I never worship at the shrines of our public servants... The Washington press corps has the privilege of asking the president of the United States what he is doing and why.
I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
It does not pay a prophet to be too specific.
