Greater Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or mysteries:

“Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confessed,
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
That such are happier, shocks all common sense.
Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
Bliss is the same in subject or in king.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
