Famous quotes containing the word reform:

    “There is no such thing as accomplishing a righteous reform by the use of “expediency.” There is no such thing as sliding up- hill. In morals the only sliders are backsliders.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “He reckoned a body could reform the old man with a shot-gun, maybe, but he didn’t know no other way.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
