Universal

Famous quotes containing the word universal:

    There isn’t any universal reason;
    And no one but a man would think there was.
    You don’t catch women trying to be Plato.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The universal soul is the alone creator of the useful and the beautiful; therefore to make anything useful or beautiful, the individual must be submitted to the universal mind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The world still wants its poet-priest, a reconciler, who shall not trifle with Shakspeare the player, nor shall grope in graves with Swedenborg the mourner; but who shall see, speak, and act, with equal inspiration. For knowledge will brighten the sunshine; right is more beautiful than private affection; and love is compatible with universal wisdom.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
