Divine Power

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or power:

“He, who, in view of its inconsistencies, says of human nature the same that, in view of its contrasts, is said of the divine nature, that it is past finding out, thereby evinces a better appreciation of it than he who, by always representing it in a clear light, leaves it to be inferred that he clearly knows all about it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“The distinction, which we often make betwixt power and the exercise of it, is equally without foundation.”
