Mother Divine

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or divine:

    I have nothing but the embittered sun;
    Banished heroic mother moon and vanished,
    And now that I have come to fifty years
    I must endure the timid sun.

    Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.
