Famous quotes containing the words david, baron and/or jenkins:

    If a man was tossed out of a window when an infant, and so made a cripple for life, or scared out of his wits by the Indians, it is regretted chiefly because he was thus incapacitated for—business! I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My lusts they do me leave,
    My fancies all be fled,
    And tract of time begins to weave
    Grey hairs upon my head.
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    As I get older I seem to believe less and less and yet to believe what I do believe more and more.
    —David Jenkins (b. 1925)
