Famous quotes containing the words james, addison and/or baker:

    Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor.
    —William James (1843–1916)

    The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life’s idea, Truth and Truth’s idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
