Famous quotes containing the word plays:

    Better to be despised and have a servant, than to be self-important and lack food.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:9.

    RSV translation reads, “Better is a man of humble standing who works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.”

    To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.
    Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)

    He plays o’the viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
