Beware of false prophets. [ Jesus ]

Poetry is itself a thing of God;
He made his prophets poets; and the more
We feel of poesie do we become
Like God in love and power, - under makers. [ Bailey ]

Prophets of fragrance, beauty, joy, and song. [ Ebenezer Elliott ]

And evermore the waters worship God;
And bards and prophets tune their mystic lyres
While listening to the music of the waves! [ Mrs. Hale ]

The best of prophets of the future is the past. [ Byron ]

Opportunity is more powerful even than conquerors and prophets. [ Earl of Beaconsfield ]

We are often prophets to others only because we are our own historians. [ Mme. Swetchine ]

Hence it happened that all the armed prophets conquered, all the unarmed perished. [ Machiavelli ]

Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitation of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us. [ M. Luther ]

There have been many men who left behind them that which hundreds of years have not worn out. The earth has Socrates and Plato to this day. The world is richer yet by Moses and the old prophets than by the wisest statesmen. We are indebted to the past. We stand in the greatness of ages that are gone rather than in that of our own. But of how many of us shall it be said that, being dead, we yet speak? [ Beecher ]
