Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or time:
“The God whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity; and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us; and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
