Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or office:

    If we divine a discrepancy between a man’s words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    Reason is, and only ought 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)
