Famous quotes containing the words israel, largest and/or banks:

    “Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 34:10.

    “Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
    —Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)

    “Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.”
    —Will Durant (1885–1981)
