Famous quotes containing the word god:

    It’s well
    If God who holds you to the pit of hell,
    Much as one holds a spider, will destroy,
    Baffle and dissipate your soul.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    It is not only prayer that gives God glory but work. Smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives God some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
