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)

    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)
