1. divine

   "Persons or things augur; persons only forebode or presage; things only betoken or portend." Crabb English Synonymes. We augur well for a voyage from past good fortune and a good start; we presage success from the stanchness of the ship and the skill of the captain. We forebode misfortune either from circumstances that betoken failure, or from gloomy fancies for which we could not give a reason. Dissipation among the officers and mutiny among the crew portend disaster. Divine has reference to the ancient soothsayers' arts (as in Gen. xliv, 5, 15), and refers rather to reading hearts than to reading the future. We say I could not divine his motive, or his intention.

3. Marcus Tullius Cicero:

   . . . for until that God who rules all the region of the sky. . . has freed you from the fetters of your body, you cannot gain admission here. Men were created with the understanding that they were to look after that sphere called Earth, which you see in the middle of the temple. Minds have been given to them out of the eternal fires you call fixed stars and planets, those spherical solids which, quickened with divine minds, journey through their circuits and orbits with amazing speed....

5. Christen Kuikoua:

   The certainty of the world's end looms, yet those whose hearts reside at the feet of the Lord shall not meet their end as the world does. For the earth, beneath our Creator's majesty, is but His footstool, and He reigns as the sovereign monarch over both heaven and earth. In this divine embrace, one finds an eternal sanctuary beyond the temporal boundaries of worldly existence.
