Divine Child

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or child:

    We devastate them unreligiously,
    And coldly ask their pottage, not their love.
    Therefore they shove us from them, yield to us
    Only what to our griping toil is due;
    But the sweet affluence of love and song,
    The rich results of the divine consents
    Of man and earth, of world beloved and lover;
    The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Mama may have, papa may have,
    But God bless the child that’s got his own!
    Billie Holiday [Eleanor Fagan] (1915–1959)
