Examples

quotes “I know God is wise in all; wonderful in what we conceive, but far more in what we comprehend not: for we behold him but asquint, upon reflex or shadow; our understanding is dimmer than Moses’s eye; we are ignorant of the back parts or lower side of his divinity; therefore, to pry into the maze of his counsels, is not only folly in man, but presumption even in angels.” —Sir Thomas Browne, Religio Medici
quotes Мы при­ви­ва­ем им лю­бовь к за­щи­те на­ше­го го­су­дар­ства», — от­ме­тил ата­ман Бен­дер­ско­го окру­га Чер­но­мор­ско­го ка­за­чье­го вой­ска Сер­гей Сав­чук.
