Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or elements:
“Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind’s throwing?”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“There surely is a being who presides over the universe; and who, with infinite wisdom and power, has reduced the jarring elements into just order and proportion. Let speculative reasoners dispute, how far this beneficent being extends his care, and whether he prolongs our existence beyond the grave, in order to bestow on virtue its just reward, and render it fully triumphant.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
