Popular passages
Page 46 - Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his Eternal Power and God-head, so that they are without excuse...
Page 46 - Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened : professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Page 85 - These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Page 125 - The Seasons came and went, and went and came, To teach men gratitude ; and as they passed, Gave warning of the lapse of Time, that else Had stolen unheeded by. The gentle Flowers, Retired, and, stooping o'er the wilderness, Talked of humility, and peace, and love. The Dews came down unseen at evening-tide, And silently their bounties shed, to teach Mankind unostentatious charity.

Not content with the principle, that nothing exists but by his will, that nothing possesses any power but by his concession; they rob nature, and all created beings, of every power, in order to render their dependence on the Deity still more sensible and immediate.

Page 33 - By word or deed deny a God. They eat Their daily bread, and draw the breath of heaven Without or thought or thanks : heaven's roof to them Is but a painted ceiling hung with lamps, No more, that lights them to their purposes. They wander " loose about," they nothing see, Themselves except, and creatures like themselves, Short-lived, short-sighted, impotent to save.
Page 193 - O THOU eternal One, whose presence bright All space doth occupy, all motion guide ; Unchanged through time's all-devastating flight ! Thou only God, — there is no God beside ! Being above all beings ! mighty One, Whom none can comprehend and none explore ; Who fill'st existence with Thyself alone, Embracing all, supporting, ruling o'er; Being whom we call God, and know no more...
Page 214 - By liberty, then, we can only mean a power of acting or not acting according to the determinations of the will; that is, if we choose to remain at rest, we may; if we choose to move, AVC also may.
Page 99 - Forth from his dark and lonely hiding-place, (Portentous sight!) the owlet Atheism, Sailing on obscene wings athwart the noon, Drops his blue-fringed lids, and holds them close, And hooting at the glorious sun in Heaven, Cries out, 'Where is it?
