» Thomas Fuller (writer) - all quotes »
Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Jesus Christ

Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.Friedrich von Logau
Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;

But they grind woe.William R. Alger
