Prophetic

Famous quotes containing the word prophetic:

    But though Heaven made him poor, with reverence speaking,
    He never was a poet of God’s making;
    The midwife laid her hand on his thick skull,
    With this prophetic blessing—Be thou dull;
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Talk of Columbus and Newton! I tell you the child just born in yonder hovel is the beginning of a revolution as great as theirs. But you must have the believing and prophetic eye.

    I am about to die, and that is the hour in which men are gifted with prophetic power.
