Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia.
World
The world is the planet Earth and all life upon it, including human civilization. In a philosophical context, the "world" is the whole of the physical Universe, or an ontological world (the "world" of an individual). In a theological context, the world is the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred spheres. "End of the world" scenarios refer to the end of human history, often in religious contexts.
World
Even the linked fantasies, in whose blossomy twist
I swung the earth a trinket at my wrist.
Francis Thompson, Hound of Heaven, line 126; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 911-17.
World
Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade
Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;
Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth,
And make use of your wings while you may.
* * * * * *
But tho' dreams of delight may have dazzled you quite,
They at last found it dangerous play;
Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth,
Only dazzle to lead us astray.
Thomas Haynes Bayly, Fly away, pretty Moth; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 911-17.
Europe
Europe dominated the world, but it failed to dominate itself. For five hundred years Europe tore itself apart in civil wars.
George Friedman, The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century (2009), Doubleday, p. 22
