Heard Arguments

Famous quotes containing the words heard and/or arguments:

    “I, who had heard of music in the spheres,
    But not of speech in stars, began to muse:
    But turning to my God, whose ministers
    The stars and all things are; If I refuse,
    Dread Lord, said I, so oft my good;
    Then I refuse not ev’n with blood
    To wash away my stubborn thought:
    For I will do or suffer what I ought.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “When I am convinced of any principle, it is only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
