Dwight, Timothy, Iv Quotes

May 14, 1752 – January 11, 1817

Timothy Dwight (May 14, 1752 – January 11, 1817) was an American academic and educator, theologian and author, and Congregationalist minister. He was the eighth president of Yale College (1795–1817).

It is impossible for the mind which is not totally destitute of piety, to behold the sublime, the awful, the amazing works of creation and providence — the heavens with their luminaries, the mountains, the ocean, the storm, the earthquake, the volcano, the circuit of the seasons, and the revolutions of empires — without marking in them all the mighty hand of God, and feeling strong emotions of reverence toward the Author of these stupendous works.
