"Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!" ― Alexander Pope Topic(s): God More From Alexander Pope "The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read With loads of learned lumber in his head." "The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres." "Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God." More In God "If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works."― Noam Chomsky "I am so blessed. I’ve been way over-blessed. At 64 years old, I look forward to going to bed every night so I can wake up in the morning and see what blessing is going to come my way that day. Because you never, ever know what God’s got in store for you."― Paula Deen "All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."― Charles A. Beard
