God Told

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or told:

“Let God alone if need be. Methinks, if I loved him more, I should keep him—I should keep myself rather—at a more respectful distance. It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover that God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know whom I mean.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i’th’bud,
Feed on her damask cheek.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
