Xenophanes... looking to the whole heaven, says that the One is God.
Aristotle, Metaphysics, I, v.12, 986b21 (see "the god")
Just as the boatman sits in his small boat, trusting his frail craft in a stormy sea that is boundless in every direction, rising and falling with the howling, mountainous waves, so in the midst of a world full of suffering and misery the individual man calmly sits, supported by and trusting the principium individuationis, or the way in which the individual knows things as phenomena.
Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, Volume I, §63, p. 353 [Dover Publications, 1966, E.F.J. Payne translation]
Prospero The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And like this insubstantial pageant faded
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.The Tempest, William Shakespeare, Act 4, Scene 1:152-158
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
Behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
JOHN TRAVOLTA: "I think so. That means that God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets."

SAMUEL L. JACKSON: "This was divine intervention. You know what divine intervention is?"
locutus est Moses ad populum peccastis peccatum maximum.
Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin.
Exodus 32:30
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
Where death is, religion must be.
To God I'm the Loyal Opposition.
