Such is the way of all superstition, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments, or the like; wherein men, having a delight in such vanities, mark the events where they are fulfilled, but where they fail, though this happen much oftener, n
Francis Bacon, Sr.
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?
Henry David Thoreau

Fulton J. Sheen
As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse`s neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cure for all ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word `love.` It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.

[on Warren Beatty] Warren is the most divine lover of all. His libido was as lethal as high-octane gas. I had never known such pleasure of passion in my life.

If you were stranded on a desert island, which four things would you need to survive? "I`d take a good book - Dante`s Divine Comedy, because you can never plumb the depths of that. I would also take a mask and snorkel so I could check out the fish, becaus...

I wouldn`t mind being a divine dictator and having a stab at running China. You know the concept that if everyone in China jumps up and down at the same time it`d start a tidal wave that`d destroy America? I`d phone the U.S. President and say `We`re all o...
