Famous quotes containing the word laid:
“Reason is natural revelation, whereby the eternal father of light, and fountain of all knowledge, communicates to mankind that portion of truth which he has laid within the reach of their natural facilities: Revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries communicated by God immediately, which reason vouches the truth of, by the testimony and proofs it gives, that they come from God.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
