Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or set:

    All finite things reveal infinitude:
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue. Then he is instructed in what is set above him. He learns that his being is without bound; that to the good, to the perfect, he is born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
