Universal Deluge

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or deluge:

    The God whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business.
    William James (1842–1910)

    Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,—shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter accept as special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
