I thought Winston Churchill was a young man of promise, but it appears he is a young man of promises.
Arthur Balfour
Man, so far as natural science by itself is able to teach us, is no longer the final cause of the universe, the Heaven-descended heir of all the ages. His very existence is an accident, his story a brief and transitory episode in the life of one of the meanest of the planets.

Arthur Balfour
