Sovereign God

Famous quotes containing the words sovereign and/or god:

    If we study nature attentively, alike in its great revolutions and in its minutest works, it is impossible not to admit enchantment—giving the word its fullest meaning. Man can create no force; he can but use the only existing force, which includes all others, namely, Motion—the incomprehensible Breath of the sovereign maker of the universe.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    When we have broken our god of tradition, and ceased from our god of rhetoric, then may God fire the heart with his presence.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
