Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or public:

    “God is a being of transcendent and unlimited perfections: his nature therefore is incomprehensible to finite spirits.”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    “The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
