Temporal Punishment

Famous quotes containing the words temporal and/or punishment:

    Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    All pain is a punishment, and every punishment is inflicted for love as much as for justice.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
