Universal

Famous quotes containing the word universal:

    And universal Nature, through her vast
    And crowded whole, an infinite paroquet,
    Repeats one note.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either a saint or a mediocrity.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Nay, had I power, I should
    Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell,
    Uproar the universal peace, confound
    All unity on earth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
