Maimonides

More than once I was tormented by the thought that if Providence had put me in the place of the incapable of criminal incompetents or scoundrels in our propaganda service, our battle with Destiny would have taken a different turn.
Adolf Hitler

He who ruleth the raging of the sea, knows also how to check the designs of the ungodly. I submit myself with reverence to His Holy Will. O Abner, I fear my God, and I fear none but Him.
Jean Racine

It was clear to me, as I glanced back over my earlier life, that a loving Providence watched over me, that all was directed for me by a higher power.
Hans Christian Andersen

It is mercy that our lives are not left for us to plan, but that our Father chooses for us else might we sometimes turn away from our best blessings, and put from us the choicest loveliest gifts of his providence.
Susannah Spurgeon

The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations.
George Washington

My Calamity is my providence, outwardly it is fire and vengeance, but inwardly it is light and mercy.
Bahá'u'lláh

I shall look for whatever success may attend my public service and knowing that except the Lord keep the city the watchman waketh but in vain, with fervent supplications for His favor, to His overruling providence I commit with humble but fearless confidence my own fate and the future destinies of my country.
John Quincy Adams

O SON OF MAN! My calamity is My providence, outwardly it is fire and vengeance, but inwardly it is light and mercy. Hasten thereunto that thou mayest become an eternal light and an immortal spirit. This is My command unto thee, do thou observe it.
Bahá'u'lláh
Image
We must mark God's providence leading us and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes
Charles Spurgeon

It is day by day that we go forward today we are as we were yesterday and tomorrow we shall be like ourselves today. So we go on without being aware of it, and this is one of the miracles of Providence that I so love.
Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sevigne
Image
I'm not looking for anything. If you start looking for something specific, then you take providence right out of it. You can't completely control it. Otherwise you'd make the same kind of movie over and over again, which some people say I've done.

Arthur Rubinstein
Image
The equity of Providence has balanced peculiar sufferings with peculiar enjoyments.

That there is one God, who made all things. That he governs the world by his providence. That he might be worshipped by adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving. But that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to Man. That the Soul is immortal. And that God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Providence protects us in all the details of our lot.
Madame de Stael
