Famous quotes containing the word necessity:
“Nothing in the universe is contingent, but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“Upon the whole, necessity is something, that exists in the mind, not in objects; nor is it possible for us ever to form the most distant idea of it, considerd as a quality in bodies. Either we have no idea of necessity, or necessity is nothing but that determination of thought to pass from cause to effects and effects to causes, according to their experiencd union.”
—David Hume (17111776)
“A short letter to a distant friend is, in my opinion, an insult like that of a slight bow or cursory salutationa proof of unwillingness to do much, even where there is a necessity of doing something.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
