William Arthur Mount

Famous quotes containing the words arthur and/or mount:

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle
    and the mountains as pegs?
    And We created you in pairs,
    and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
    and We appointed night for a garment,
    and We appointed day for a livelihood.
    And We have built above you seven strong ones,
    and We appointed a blazing lamp
    and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
    that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
    and gardens luxuriant.”
    —Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    “As every pool reflects the image of the sun, so every thought and thing restores us an image and creature of the supreme Good. The universe is perforated by a million channels for his activity. All things mount and mount.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
