Famous quotes containing the words james and/or black:

    The God whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    O God, oh! of thine only worthy blood,
    And my tears, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
    And drown in it my sins’ black memory.
    That thou remember them, some claim as debt;
    I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
