Famous quotes containing the words play and/or station:
“Anyone who seeks to destroy the passions instead of controlling them is trying to play the angel.”

“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
