Famous quotes containing the words means and/or test:

    Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    First follow Nature, and your judgment frame
    By her just standard, which is still the same;
    Unerring Nature, still divinely bright,
    One clear, unchanged, and universal light,
    Life, force, and beauty must to all impart,
    At once the source, and end, and test of art.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
