"Bidden or not bidden, God is Present"

Cari Jung, the eminent psychologist had this carved in Latin over the front door of his house to remind those entering that the "Awe of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom" Psalms 111:10.  The words are said to originate from the reply given by the Deiphio Oracle to the Lacedaemonians when they were planning a war against Athens.  "Yes, the gods will be present, but in what form and to what purpose?"
