Famous quotes containing the words lord, thy and/or god:

Guide our Forces by Thy Hand,

Protect them Lord in all their fights,
And, even more, protect the whites.”

Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
Listen for dear honour’s sake,
Goddess of the silver lake,
Listen and save.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The artist must be in his work like God in his Creation, invisible and all-powerful, so that he is felt everywhere but not seen.”
