Universal

Famous quotes containing the word universal:

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    Necessity does everything well. In our condition of universal dependence, it seems heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity, and to give all that is asked, though at great inconvenience.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
