Divine Presence

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or presence:

    Why should not our furniture be as simple as the Arab’s or the Indian’s? When I think of the benefactors of the race, whom we have apotheosized as messengers from heaven, bearers of divine gifts to man, I do not see in my mind any retinue at their heels, any carload of fashionable furniture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Lord, what a change within us one short hour
    Spent in Thy presence will avail to make!
    Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
