Providence

Famous quotes containing the word providence:

    Who can ... guess how much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I don’t believe in providence and fate, as a technologist I am used to reckoning with the formulae of probability.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
