Famous quotes containing the words david and/or baxter:

    “Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In necessary things, unity; in disputed things, liberty; in all things, charity.”
    —Variously Ascribed.

    The formulation was used as a motto by the English Nonconformist clergyman Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
