System Reply

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or reply:

“For the universe has three children, born at one time, which reappear, under different names, in every system of thought, whether they be called cause, operation, and effect; or, more poetically, Jove, Pluto, Neptune; or, theologically, the Father, the Spirit, and the Son; but which we will call here, the Knower, the Doer, and the Sayer. These stand respectively for the love of truth, for the love of good, and for the love of beauty.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Believe me, there exists no such dilemma as that in which a gentleman is placed when he is forced to reply to a blackguard.”
