Famous quotes containing the word god:

    Standing navies, as well as standing armies, serve to keep alive the spirit of war even in the meek heart of peace. In its very embers and smoulderings, they nourish that fatal fire, and half-pay officers, as the priests of Mars, yet guard the temple, though no god be there.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The future is inevitable and precise, but it may not occur. God lurks in the gaps.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    i thank You God for most this amazing
    day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
    and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
    which is natural which is infinite which is yes
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
