Famous quotes containing the word god:

    If Nature is our mother, then God is our father.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    When God at first made man,
    Having a glass of blessings standing by,
    “Let us,” said He, “pour on him all we can:
    Let the world’s riches, which dispersed lie,
    Contract into a span.”
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
