He who sends the storm steers the vessel. - Thomas Adams The ways of heaven are dark and intricate, Puzzled in mazes, and perplex'd with errors; Our understanding traces them in vain, Lost and bewilder'd in the fruitless search; Nor sees with how much art the windings run, Nor where the regular confusion ends. - Joseph Addison And pleas'd th' Almighty's orders to perform, Rides in the whirlwind and directs the storm. - Joseph Addison, The Campaign Fear not, but trust in Providence, Wherever thou may'st be. - Thomas Haynes Bayly (Bayley), The Pilot But they that are above Have ends in everything. - Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, The Maid's Tragedy (act V, sc. 4) Everything that happens in this world is a part of a great plan of God running through all time. - Henry Ward Beecher God's providence is on the side of clear heads. - Henry Ward Beecher If God but cares for our inward and eternal life, if by all the experiences of this life He is reducing it and preparing for its disclosure, nothing can befall us but prosperity. Every sorrow shall be but the setting of some luminous jewel of joy. Our very morning shall be but the enamel around the diamond; our very hardships but the metallic rim that holds the opal, glancing with strange interior fires. - Henry Ward Beecher Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it. - Henry Ward Beecher We are apt to believe in Providence so long as we have our own way; but if things go awry, then we think, if there is a God, He is in heaven, and not on earth. - Henry Ward Beecher You may say, "I wish to send this ball so as to kill the lion crouching yonder, ready to spring upon me. My wishes are all right, and I hope Providence will direct the ball." Providence won't. You must do it; and if you do not, you are a dead man. - Henry Ward Beecher A cockle-fish may as soon crowd the ocean into its narrow shell, as vain man ever comprehend the decrees of God! - William Beveridge The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. - Bible, Psalms (ch. CXXI, v. 6) If heaven send no supplies, The fairest blossom of the garden dies. - William Blake Surely there are in every man's life certain rubs, doublings, and wrenches, which pass a while under the effects of chance, but at the last, well examined, prove the mere hand of God. - Sir Thomas Browne If heaven send no supplies, The fairest blossom of the garden dies. - Sir William Browne (1), Visions (ch. V) Through heaven and earth God's will moves freely, and I follow it, As color follows light. He overflows The firmamental walls with deity, Therefore with love; His lightnings go abroad, His pity may do so, His angels must, Whene'er He gives them charges. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning God smiles as He has always smiled; Ere suns and moons could wax and wane, Ere stars were thundergirt, or piled The Heavens, God thought on me His child; Ordained a life for me, arrayed Its circumstances, every one To the minutest; ay, God said This head this hand should rest upon Thus, ere He fashioned star or sun. - Robert Browning In some time, his good time, I shall arrive; He guides me and the bird In his good time. - Robert Browning, Paracelsus (pt. I) There is a Power whose care Teaches thy way. - William Cullen Bryant God sendeth cold after clothes. - William Camden, Remains Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.] - Sebastien-Roch-Nicolas de Chamfort Go, mark the matchless working of the power That shuts within the seed the future flower; Bids these in elegance of form excel. In color these, and those delight the smell; Sends nature forth, the daughter of the skies, To dance on earth, and charm all human eyes. - William Cowper 'Tis Providence alone secures In every change both mine and yours. - William Cowper, A Fable--Moral Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face. - William Cowper, Light Shining Out of Darkness Displaying page 1 of 4 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2 3 4
