Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or office:

    I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
