Species Adapted

Famous quotes containing the words species and/or adapted:

    Can it then be doubted, but that God, who is infinitely fine Spirit, and withal intelligent, can make and change all species and kind of body as he pleaseth? But I dare not say, that this is the way by which God Almighty worketh, because it is past my apprehension: yet it serves very well to demonstrate, that the omnipotence of God implieth no contradiction.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    I have found all things thus far, persons and inanimate matter, elements and seasons, strangely adapted to my resources.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
