Famous quotes containing the words elements, call and/or fire:

    There surely is a being who presides over the universe; and who, with infinite wisdom and power, has reduced the jarring elements into just order and proportion. Let speculative reasoners dispute, how far this beneficent being extends his care, and whether he prolongs our existence beyond the grave, in order to bestow on virtue its just reward, and render it fully triumphant.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Treason doth never prosper; what’s the reason?
    For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
    Sir John Harington (1561–1612)

    Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can; and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
