Ramsay Opened

Famous quotes containing the words ramsay and/or opened:

    The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.
    —Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)

    And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
    Bible: New Testament, Revelation 8:1.
