Famous quotes containing the words indian, science and/or congress:
“But we, in anchor-watches calm,
The Indian Psyches languor won,
And, musing, breathed primeval balm
From Edens ere yet over-run;
Marvelling mild if mortal twice,
Here and hereafter, touch a Paradise.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Man lives for science as well as bread.”
—William James (18421910)
“I expect to maintain this contest until successful, or till I die, or am conquered, or my term expires, or Congress or the country forsakes me.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
