William Beveridge Quotes

BEVERIDGE, William Quotes

(1637-1708), English divine, Bishop of St. Asaph

Heaven

If the way to heaven be narrow, it is not long; and if the gate be strait, it opens into endless life.

Music

It calls in my spirits, composes my thoughts, delights my ear, recreates my mind, and so not only fits me for after business, but fills my heart, at the present, with pure and useful thoughts; so that when the music sounds the sweetliest in my ears, truth commonly flows the clearest into my mind.

Providence

A cockle-fish may as soon crowd the ocean into its narrow shell, as vain man ever comprehend the decrees of God.
