Famous quotes containing the word method:

“English! they are barbarians; they dont believe in the great God. I told him, Excuse me, Sir. We do believe in God, and in Jesus Christ too. Um, says he, and in the Pope? No. And why? This was a puzzling question in these circumstances.... I thought I would try a method of my own, and very gravely replied, Because we are too far off. A very new argument against the universal infallibility of the Pope.”
—James Boswell (17401795)
