Synagogue Quotes

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
Barbara de Angelis

Marriage, Wedding, Husband

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

Done, Different, Old

Barbara Walters

Time, Same, Whatever

Lionel Blue

Michael Stuhlbarg

Life, Time, Spiritual

I spent a lot of time in churches. If you go to a synagogue, someone is always asking if you're alone, if you're married. In a church, in a hundred years no one would ask.
Peter Malkin

Time, Alone, Someone
