God Gave

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or gave:

    “Silent waters rocking on the morning of our birth,
    like an empty cradle waiting to be filled.
    And from the heart of God the Spirit moved upon the earth,
    like a mother breathing life into her child.”
    —Gordon Light (20th century)

    “A hidden strength
    Which if Heav’n gave it, may be term’d her own:
    ‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
    She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
    And like a quiver’d Nymph with Arrows keen
    May trace huge Forests, and unharbour’d Heaths,
    Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
    Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
    No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
    Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
