Diviner Quotes

Of all that is most beauteous, imaged there In happier beauty more pellucid streams, An ampler ether, a diviner air, And fields invested with purpureal gleams. (William Wordsworth)
To have loved and lost, either by that total disenchantment which leaves compassion as the sole substitute for love which can exist no more, or by the slow torment which is obliged to let go day by day all that constitutes the diviner part of love - namely, reverence, belief, and trust, yet clings desperately to the only thing left it, a long-suffering apologetic tenderness - this lot is probably the hardest any woman can have to bear.
Dinah Craik
There is in stillness oft a magic power To calm the breast when struggling passions lower, Touched by its influence, in the soul arise Diviner feelings, kindred with the skies.
John Henry Newman
Ennobling this dull pomp, the life of kings, By contemplation of diviner things.
Matthew Arnold
Let me dream only with my heart, Love first, and after see: Know thy diviner counterpart Before I kneel to thee. So in thy motions all expressed Thy angel I may view: I shall not on thy beauty rest, But Beauty's ray in you.
George William Russell
We deem our love so infinite Because the Lord is everywhere, And love awakening is made bright And bathed in that diviner air.
George William Russell
If one choose the goods of the soul, he chooses the diviner [portion]; if the goods of the body, the merely mortal.
Democritus
The best of the diviner breed are never wrong because they never set anything in stone.
Glen Cook
Who is a professional? A professional is someone who has a combination of competence, confidence and belief. A water diviner is a professional. A traditional midwife is a professional. A traditional bone setter is a professional. These are professionals all over the world. You find them in any inaccessible village around the world.
Bunker Roy
I must abjure the Balm of Life, I must, Scared by some After-reckoning ta'en on trust, Or lured with Hope of some Diviner Drink, To fill the Cup - when crumbled into Dust!
Omar Khayyám
Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life. (Plutarch)
Raise up the banner of forlorn defence - A jest to the complacency of crowds - Bright-haloed with the one diviner sense: To hold itself as nothing to itself; And in the quest of its imagined star To lose all thought of after-recompense!
John Galsworthy
There is a difficulty in the way of teaching the higher life, due to the fact that only those who have begun to lead it can understand the meaning of it. Nevertheless, all men can be induced to begin to lead it. Though they seem blind, their eyes can be opened so as to see. Deep down in every human heart is the seed of a diviner life, which only needs the quickening influence of right conditions to germinate.
Felix Adler
The Magdalene, Childlike in ignorance, her thought athirst For that diviner knowledge which the priests Had never taught in her far-distant home, Stood earnest listening to the words that fell From the firm lips of Jesus. Day by day They sank upon her heart like blessed rain, Calling the secret powers that lay within Deep buried, forth to beauty and to life.
Mary Magdalene
