Famous quotes containing the words places and/or named:

    What greater light can be hoped for in the moral sciences? The subject part of mankind in most places might, instead thereof, with Egyptian bondage expect Egyptian darkness, were not the candle of the Lord set up by himself in men’s minds, which it is impossible for the breath or power of man wholly to extinguish.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    There was a young lady named Bright,
    Who traveled much faster than light.
    Arthur Buller (1874–1944)
