Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:

    Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything. The nature of our existence hides from us the knowledge of first beginnings which are born of the nothing; and the littleness of our being conceals from us the sight of the infinite. Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    The world has room to make a bear feel free;
    The universe seems cramped to you and me.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
