Nothing is more ancient than God, for He was never created; nothing
more beautiful than the world, it is the work of that same God.--
_Thales._
Nature herself has imprinted on the minds of all the idea of a God;
for what nation or race of men is there that has not, even without
being taught, some idea of a God.--_Cicero._
There is one God; Him the Christians, Him the Jews, Him all the
Gentile people worship.--_Emperor Adrian._
Amid so much war, contest, and variety of opinion, you will find
one consenting conviction in every land that there is one God, the
King and Father of all.--_Maximus Tyrius._
If we suppose a God, to Him there can be nothing mean and nothing
great. The most trivial things must be equal under His regard as
the most august. All-powerful, omniscient, and omnipresent, He must
encompass all things, and pervade all things. Ignorant of nothing,
forgetting nothing, despising nothing, He must direct the
operations of the universe with perfect skill, and sustain every
part in consummate order.--_Plato._
What land or what see will man find without God? Into what part of
the earth wilt thou descend and hide thyself, O unhappy wretch!
where thou canst escape from God?--_Plutarch._
Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and
the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in
the earth, is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art
exalted as head above all.--_David._
He is God, the Great, the Mighty, the Tremendous, the Merciful, the
Gracious, the Benign, the Wise, the Faithful, the Just, and the
Virtuous; Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence, are His alone,
whose Being knew no beginning, and can know no end.--_The Mishna
Torah._
