Greater Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or mysteries:

“I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“I’ve been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I’ve profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.”
—William Hurlbut (1883–?)
