Computes Natural

Famous quotes containing the words computes and/or natural:

    Query: Whether the difference between a mere computer and a man of science be not, that the one computes on principles clearly conceived, and by rules evidently demonstrated, whereas the other doth not?
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    All the moral laws are readily translated into natural philosophy, for often we have only to restore the primitive meaning of the words by which they are expressed, or to attend to their literal instead of their metaphorical sense. They are already supernatural philosophy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
