Divine Quotes
-
I think I love and reverence all arts equally, only putting my own just above the others; because in it I recognize the union and culmination of my own.

How much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of Creation?

Joseph Heller

God's beneficence streams out from the morning sun, and his love looks down upon us from the starry eyes of midnight. It is his solicitude that wraps us in the air, and the pressure of his hand, so to speak, that keeps our pulses beating.

Edwin Hubbell Chapin
