OK, so not everyone's a liar

 Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true.

-- Romans 3:4

Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" 

-- John 1:47

Limners of another kind

Poets are limners of another kind,

To copy out ideas in the mind;

Words are the paint by which their thoughts are shown,

And nature is their object to be drawn.

-- George Granville

The lighted fool

 

 

The queen, my lord, is dead.

MACBETH
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. ...

Richard Bentley's "Big Crunch"

"There might arise some vertiginous motions or whirlpools in the matter of the chaos, whereby the atoms must be thrust and crowded to the middle of those whirlpools, and there constipate one another into great solid bodies."

-- Richard Bentley (1662-1742)
