O Thou above all gods supreme. [ Klopstock ]
Love supreme defies all sophistry. [ George Eliot ]
First of human blessings! and supreme. [ Thomson ]
By misgovernment the supreme rule is lost. [ Publius Syrus ]
The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees.
Shoots rising up, and spreads by slow degrees.
Three centuries he grows, and three he stays
Supreme in state; and in three more decays. [ Dryden ]
To give to every man his due, that is supreme justice. [ Cicero ]
Those in supreme power always suspect and hate their next heir. [ Tac ]
The supreme sway of chastity over the senses makes her queenly. [ Joubert ]
It is folly to seek the approbation of any being besides the Supreme. [ Addison ]
Life is not the supreme good; but of all earthly ills the chief is guilt. [ Schiller ]
We cannot overstate our debt to the past, but the moment has the supreme claim. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
Expression alone can invest beauty with supreme and lasting command over the eye. [ Fuseli ]

The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure; perform whatever she commands. [ Goethe ]
A miracle is a supernatural event, whose antecedent forces are beyond our finite vision, whose design is the display of almighty power for the accomplishment of almighty purposes, and whose immediate result, as regards man, is his recognition of God as the Supreme Ruler of all things, and of His will as the only supreme law. [ A. E. Kittredge ]
Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. Everyone must be challenged. A day dawns, quite like other days; in it a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. To face every opportunity of life thoughtfully and ask its meaning bravely and earnestly, is the only way to meet the supreme opportunities when they come, whether open-faced or disguised. [ Maltbie Babcock ]
We have more poets than judges and interpreters of poetry. It is easier to write an indifferent poem than to understand a good one. There is, indeed, a certain low and moderate sort of poetry, that a man may well enough judge by certain rules of art: but the true, supreme, and divine poesy is equally above all rules and reason. And whoever discerns the beauty of it with the most assured and most steady sight sees no more than the quick reflection of a flash of lightning. [ Montaigne ]
