“Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires.”
John Newton
“Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.”
Isaac Newton
“You inject yourself into a society simply because you reside there, only to find that the reason you were never injected is because you aren't the prescription. In this manner, you will either be abused, or discarded. Please, stay sterile and refrigerated until needed.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“Ignorance is not so damnable as humbug, but when it prescribes pills it may happen to do more harm”
George Eliot
“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; / To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! / And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? / Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.”
Bible
“The critic should describe, and not prescribe.”
Eugene Ionesco
“God has been pleased to prescribe limits to his power and to work out his ends within these limits.”
William Paley
