Divine Power

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or power:

“The Grecian are youthful and erring and fallen gods, with the vices of men, but in many important respects essentially of the divine race.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Today, supremely, it behooves us to remember that a nation shall be saved by the power that sleeps in its own bosom; or by none; shall be renewed in hope, in confidence, in strength by waters welling up from its own sweet, perennial springs. Not from above; not by patronage of its aristocrats. The flower does not bear the root, but the root the flower.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
