Famous quotes containing the word macaulay:

    In every age the vilest specimens of human nature are to be found among demagogues.
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind.
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
