Ultima Station

Famous quotes containing the words ultima and/or station:

“Civilization is nothing else than the attempt to reduce force to being the ultima ratio.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
