For truth is precious proverb

 For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.
  Samuel Butler

 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: / Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, / According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: / Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? / For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? / Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? / I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

 The Divine pervades everything in the Universe. This may not be understood by everyone. Some may not agree that the Divine is Omnipresent. But whether they accept this fact or not, the truth is, evidence of the presence of God can be found wherever one turns.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 The rich do not possess aught more precious than their Bible...the poor cannot be presented by the rich with anything of greater value...It is a book of councils and directions, fitted to every situation in which man can be placed.

 This is the sin against the Holy Ghost: -- / To speak of bloody power as right divine,/ And call on God to guard each vile chief's house,/ And for such chiefs, turn men to wolves and swine.

 War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.

 Scientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is divine and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise.
  Horace Mann

 Rich honesty dwells like a miser, sir, in a poor house; as your pearl in a foul oyster He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her. Rich honesty dwells like a miser, sir, in a poor house; as your pearl in a foul oyster
  William Shakespeare

 The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth
  Lewis Thomas

 The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concetrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.
My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.
  Nikola Tesla

 She is mine own,
And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
  William Shakespeare

 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

 Everyone has Love towards some thing or other, and that Love is a spark of the Divine; everyone has ultimately to base his life on some one Truth; that Truth is God.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba
