Divine Power

Famous quotes containing the words divine power, divine and/or power:

    ... by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don’t quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil—widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    He never supposed divine
    Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
    Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
    And that if nothing was the truth, then all
    Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother’s milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
