Yet it is a number, and every number is odd or even (this is certainly true of every finite number).

Página 156 - Every organized being forms a whole — a peculiar system of its own, the parts of which mutually correspond, and concur in producing the same definitive action, by a reciprocal reaction. None of these parts can change...
Página 221 - And would not be oblig'd to God for more. Vain wretched creature, how art thou misled, To think thy wit these god-like notions bred ! These truths are not the product of thy mind, But dropt from Heaven, and of a nobler kind. Reveal'd religion first inform'd thy sight, And reason saw not till faith sprung the light.
Página 206 - For it appeared to me pre-eminently excellent in bringing us to know the causes of each, through what each is produced and destroyed, and exists. But happening to hear some one read in a book, which he said was of Anaxagoras, that it is Intelligence which is the parent of order and cause of all things, I was pleased with this cause, and it seemed to me to be well that Intelligence was the cause of all, and I considered that, were it so, the ordering Intelligence ordered all things, and placed each...
