A wise God shrouds the future in obscure darkness.

Horace

There is nothing which God cannot do. [Lat., Nihil est quod deus efficere non possit.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Man proposes, but God disposes. [Lat., Nam homo proponit, sed Deus disponit.]

Thomas a Kempis

There is a God within us and intercourse with heaven. [Lat., Est deus in nobis; et sunt commercia coeli.]

Ovid

Nor let a god come in, unless the difficulty be worthy of such an intervention. [Lat., Nec deus intersit nisi dignus vindice nodus.]

Horace

There is indeed a God that hears and sees whate'er we do. [Lat., Est profecto deus, qui, quae nos gerimus, auditque et videt.]

Plautus

There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The wise man is wise in vain who cannot be wise to his own advantage. [Lat., Nequicquam sapere sapientem, qui ipse sibi prodesse non quiret.]

Quintus Ennius

There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said Truth is the daughter of Time. [Lat., Alius quidam veterum poetarum cuius nomen mihi nunc memoriae non est veritatem temporis filiam esse dixit.]

Aulus Gellius

Feuerbach ... recognizes ... "even love, in itself the truest, most inward sentiment, becomes an obscure, illusory one through religiousness, since religious love loves man only for God's sake, therefore loves man only apparently, but in truth God only." Is this different with moral love? Does it love the man, this man for this man's sake, or for morality's sake, for Man's sake, and so-for homo homini Deus-for God's sake?

Max Stirner

A wise quote can only change a wise man! Therefore, wise sayings are for the wise men, not for the fools! The sunflowers turn their face toward the Sun, the fools, toward the darkness!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

In laboring to be concise, I become obscure. [Lat., Brevis esse laboro, obscurus fio.]

Horace

Whoever is not too wise is wise. [Lat., Quisquis plus justo non sapit, ille sapit.]

Martial

Faith is obscure. By faith a man moves through darkness; but he moves securely, his hand in the hand of God. He is literally seeing through the eyes of God.

Walter Farrell

The "Kumulipo" is an old Hawaiian prayer chant that poetically describes the creation of the world. The word literally means "beginning-in-deep-darkness." Here darkness doesn't connote gloom and evil. Rather, it's about the inscrutability of the embryonic state; the obscure chaos that reigns before germination.

Rob Brezsny

Deus ex machina not only erases all meaning and emotion, it's an insult to the audience. Each of us knows we must choose and act, for better or worse, to determine the meaning of our lives...Deus ex machina is an insult because it is a lie.
