Famous quotes containing the words busy and/or station:
“The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection.”
—Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
