Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:

    It is better for you to suffer an injustice than for the world to be without law. Therefore, let everyone submit to the law.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.
    Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
