Divine Quotes

Today there is a “NO” which shall weaken the powerful and strengthen the weak: the “NO” to war.

To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education.

Regularity in Nature is not proof of the control of Nature by a Divine intelligence; it is rather the reverse. If something- call it matter, or ether, or x - exists, it must operate in accordance with its innate qualities; and so long as this x remains uncontrolled, its manifestations will continue unchallenged- in other words, there will be order. The same causes, the same results. That is the manifest signs of a natural order that knows nothing of God.
Chapman Cohen

John Calvin
