"These were Homer's fictions, transferring things human to the gods; would he had brought down things divine to us!"
Augustine, Confessions
Whether thou strew heaps of gold at his feet, or brandishes an Indian sword over the Unitarian's head, to hope or fear he is alike indifferent; and in this the divine unity alone he is resolved and firm.
Saadi, Gulistan
It is a good divine that follows his own instructions
Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 1, Scene 2
if powers divine Behold our human actions, as they do, I doubt not then but innocence shall make False accusation blush and tyranny Tremble at patience.
Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale, Act 3, Scene 2
Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, these rebel powers that thee array, Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth, Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? Why so large cost, having so short a lease, Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body's end? Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss And let that pine to aggravate thy store; Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross; Within be fed, without be rich no more. So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men, And, Death once dead, there's no more dying then.
Shakespeare, Sonnet 146
