world

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

With God, I can do all things! But with God and you, and the people who you can interest, by the grace of God, we're gonna cover the world!

The world has little to bestow Where two fond hearts in equal love are joined.

And how am I to face the odds Of man's bedevilment and God's? I, a stranger and afraid In a world I never made.

I am not a pessimist but a pejorist (as George Eliot said she was not an optimist but a meliorist); and that philosophy is founded on my observation of the world, not on anything so trivial and irrelevant as personal history.

We have now armed to such an extent as the world has never before seen.

The world is now too small for anything but "the truth" and too terrible for anything but "brotherhood."

I have been told that one of the reasons the astronomers of the world cooperate is the fact that there is no one nation from which the entire sphere of the sky can be seen. Perhaps there is in that fact a parable for national statesmen, whose political horizons are all too often limited by national horizons.

One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.

The world holds two classes of men-intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
