Cato the Younger (Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis) Quotes
It is remarkable that men, when they differ in what they think considerable, will be apt to differ in almost everything else; their difference begets contradiction; contradiction begets heat; heat quickly rises into resentment, rage, and ill-will; thus they differ in affections, as they differ in judgment.

God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.
William Cowper
