- M → BG.

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or bundle:
“I have been maintaining that the meaning of the word ought and other moral words is such that a person who uses them commits himself thereby to a universal rule. This is the thesis of universalizability.”

“There is Lowell, whos striving Parnassus to climb
With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme,
He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders,
But he cant with that bundle he has on his shoulders,
The top of the hill he will neer come nigh reaching
Till he learns the distinction twixt singing and preaching;”
—James Russell Lowell (18191891)
