If something is buried in the past, leave it buried. . . . Such dwelling on past lives, including past mistakes, is just not right! It is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. . . . In cases of marriage and family, . . . we can end up destroying so many others.

Jeffrey R. Holland

Usher

Buried was the bloody hatchet; Buried was the dreadful war-club; Buried were all warlike weapons, And the war-cry was forgotten. Then was peace among the nations.

Cassandra Clare

Perhaps [the critics are right and] the drama is played out now and Jesus is safely dead and buried. Perhaps.

Dorothy L. Sayers

In the dust where we have buried the silent races and their abominations we have buried so much of the delicate magic of life.

D. H. Lawrence

"It is a sensation not experienced by many mortals," said he, "to be looking into a churchyard on a wild windy night, and to feel that I no more hold a place among the living than these dead do, and even to know that I lie buried somewhere else, as they lie buried here. Nothing uses me to it. A spirit that was once a man could hardly feel stranger or lonelier, going unrecognized among mankind, than I feel."

Charles Dickens

I now believe when I'm dead and buried my tombstone will read, "I'm not entirely sure the band's over."

Nick Mason

Baptism was to put a line of demarcation between your past sins when you are buried with Him by Baptism-you are burying your past sins-eradicating them-putting a line in the sand saying that old man is dead and he is no longer alive any more and I rise up to walk in the newness of life.

T. D. Jakes
