Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or office:
“Then to the third—a face nor child nor old, very calm,
as of beautiful yellow-white ivory,
Young man I think I know you—I think this face is the
face of the Christ himself,
Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“‘Tis all men’s office to speak patience
To those that wring under the load of sorrow,
But no man’s virtue nor sufficiency
To be so moral when he shall endure
The like himself.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
