Visible Light

Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or light:

“It is visible then that it was not any Heathen Religion or other Idolatrous Superstition, that first put Man upon crossing his Appetites and subduing his dearest Inclinations, but the skilful Management of wary Politicians; and the nearer we search into human Nature, the more we shall be convinced, that the Moral Virtues are the Political Offspring which Flattery begot upon Pride.”
—Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

“Nature made the day for exercise, work and seeing to one’s business; and ... it provides us with a candle, which is to say the bright and joyous light of the sun.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
