Famous quotes containing the words god and/or defend:
“When almost all was out, God made a stay,
Perceiving that alone of all His treasure
Rest in the bottom lay.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
But being got it is a treasure sweet,
Which to defend is harder than to get:
And ought not be profaned on either part,
For though ‘tis got by chance,’tis kept by art.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
