It is strictly and philosophically true in nature and reason that there
is no such thing as chance or accident; it being evident that these
words do not signify anything really existing, anything that is truly an
agent or the cause of any event; but they signify merely men's ignorance
of the real and immediate cause.--_Adam Clarke._
What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of
heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not
able to make an oyster!--_Jeremy Taylor._
He who distrusts the security of chance takes more pains to effect the
safety which results from labor. To find what you seek in the road of
life, the best proverb of all is that which says: "Leave no stone
unturned."--_Bulwer-Lytton._
~Change.~--The great world spins forever down the ringing grooves of
change.--_Tennyson._
