Famous quotes containing the word reformer:
“It may be worth the while to state that he is not a Reformer in our sense of the term.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
