Famous quotes containing the word universal:

    “Really to see the sun rise or go down every day, so to relate ourselves to a universal fact, would preserve us sane forever.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
