God has marvelous ways of taking our worst tragedies and turning them into His most glorious triumphs.

Stowell, Joseph

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it. He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

I cannot be a materialist -- but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery -- such suffering, such dreadful suffering -- and shall the short years of Christ's mission atone for it all?

Lawrence, D. H.

Panin, Nikita Ivanovich

Picasso, Pablo

40.

To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God's hand, his brain as God's brain, his purpose as God's purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.

That kind of thing doesn't run in her family: her mother Reenie never went in much for God.

Otherwise it didn't pay to get too mixed up with him.

Margaret Atwood

49.
