Sum Addressed

Famous quotes containing the words sum and/or addressed:

“Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.... He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

“What is addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us intellectual beings.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
