Year System

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or system:

    The higher the mountain on which you stand, the less change in the prospect from year to year, from age to age. Above a certain height there is no change.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity: while the haughty Dogmatist, persuaded that he can erect a compleat system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any further aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
