Famous Quotes & Sayings

David Hume

When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nordiminishes.

David Hume

Charlotte Bronte

We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.
