Reading the Kalevala for class. Basically a series of Finish songs, or a long lay. Here are a couple quotes I found today:
"God starts the race, the Creator determines the finish, not the skill of a human being, by no means the power of a strong man."
"I am not moving by virtue of my own muscles, I am moving by virtue of my Creator's muscles; I am not moving quickly by my own powers, I am moving quickly by the Almighty's power; I am not speaking with my own mouth, I am speaking with God's mouth. If I have a lovely mouth, God's mouth is lovelier; if my hand is fair, the Creator's hand is fairer."

"I am not moving by virtue of my own muscles, I am moving by virtue of my Creator's muscles; I am not moving quickly by my own powers, I am moving quickly by the Almighty's power; I am not speaking with my own mouth, I am speaking with God's mouth. If I have a lovely mouth, God's mouth is lovelier; if my hand is fair, the Creator's hand is fairer."
