Thomas Reid Quotes

When We Contemplate The World Of Epicurus, And Conceive The Universe To Be A Fortuitous Jumble Of Atoms, There Is Nothing Grand In This Idea. The Clashing Of Atoms By Blind Chance Has Nothing In It Fit To Raise Our Conceptions, Or To Elevate The Mind. But The Regular Structure Of A Vast System Of Beings, Produced By Creating Power, And Governed By The Best Laws Which Perfect Wisdom And Goodness Could Contrive, Is A Spectacle Which Elevates The Understanding, And Fills The Soul With Devout Admiration.
