Famous quotes containing the words solar and/or variability:

    “The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe; nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The grand points in human nature are the same to-day they were a thousand years ago. The only variability in them is in expression, not in feature.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
