Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or deity:
“And though the shady gloom
Had given day her room,
The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
And hid his head for shame,
As his inferior flame
The new-enlightened world no more should need;
He saw a greater Sun appear
Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior’s breast.”
—Silius Italicus (26–101)
