God Told

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or told:

    It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshiped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I have been told to reason by the heart,
    But heart, like head, leads helplessly;
    I have been told to reason by the pulse,
    And, when it quickens, alter the actions’ pace
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
