Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.

William Cowper, “The Task: Book Vi. -- The Winter Walk At Noon”

God made the country, and man made the town.

The Task bk. 1 "The Sofa" l. 749 (1785) See Abraham Cowley 2

God never meant that man should scale the Heavens By strides of human wisdom. In his works, Though wondrous, he commands us in his word To seek him rather where his mercy shines.
