Miracle

A miracle is an event attributed to divine intervention. Alternatively, it may be an event attributed to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. Others suggest that God may work with the laws of nature to perform what people see as miracles. Theologians say that, with divine providence, God regularly works through created nature yet is free to work without, above, or against it as well.

Famous quotes containing the word miracle:

    Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O miracle of men!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The most beautiful lives, to my mind, are those that conform to the common human pattern, with order, but without miracle and without eccentricity.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
