Alexander Pope
Destroy all creatures for thy sport or gust, Yet cry, if man's unhappy, God's unjust.
|
Alexander Pope
Who finds not Providence all good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies.
|
Alexander Pope
Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees.
|
Alexander Pope
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.

Quintilian (Marcus Fabius Quintilian)
For it would have been better that man should have been born dumb, nay, void of all reason, rather than that he should employ the gifts of Providence to the destruction of his neighbor. [Lat., Mutos enim nasci, et egere omni ratione satius fuisset, quam providentiae munera in mutuam perniciem convertere.]
|
Robert Browning
In some time, his good time, I shall arrive; He guides me and the bird In his good time.
|
Robert Green Ingersoll
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless.
|
William Camden
Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.]
|

'Tis Providence alone secures In every change both mine and yours.
