“Jamestown with her wild train she as freely frequented, as her fathers habitation; and during the time of two or three years, she next under God, was still the instrument to preserve this colony from death, famine and utter confusion; which if in those times, had once been dissolved, Virginia might have lain as it was at our first arrival to this day.”
John Smith
“Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.”
Pablo Picasso

Christopher Marlowe
“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, / Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? / Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
Bible
