Famous quotes containing the words god and/or appointed:
“It is evident, from their method of propagation, that a couple of cats, in fifty years, would stock a whole kingdom; and if that religious veneration were still paid them, it would, in twenty more, not only be easier in Egypt to find a god than a man, which Petronius says was the case in some parts of Italy; but the gods must at last entirely starve the men, and leave themselves neither priests nor votaries remaining.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Like pilgrims to th’ appointed place we tend;
The world’s an inn, and death the journey’s end.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
