“The wisdom of God exceeds that of the wisest man, more than his wisdom exceeds that of a child. If a child were to conjecture how an army is to be formed in the day of battle--how a city is to be fortified, or a state governed--what chance has he to guess right? As little chance has the wisest man when he pretends to conjecture how the planets move in their courses, how the sea ebbs and flows, and how our minds act upon our bodies.” IfsMenMindChildrenLittlesStatesBodyMovingCoursesChanceCitiesSeaPlanetsBattleFlowArmyExceedWisestConjectureEbb And FlowWisest Man Book:Philosophical works Source: Philosophical works
