Famous quotes containing the words james and/or gordon:
“The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“I should be very willing to redress
Men’s wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes,
Had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale
Of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
