Famous quotes containing the word chief:

    ‘You’re wounded!’ ‘Nay,’ his soldier’s pride
    Touched to the quick, he said:
    ‘I’m killed, Sire!’ And his Chief beside,
    Smiling the boy fell dead.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Even if matter could do every outward thing that God does, the idea of it would not work as satisfactorily, because the chief call for a God on modern men’s part is for a being who will inwardly recognize them and judge them sympathetically. Matter disappoints this craving of our ego, so God remains for most men the truer hypothesis, and indeed remains so for definite pragmatic reasons.
    William James (1842–1910)

    To be rich is to have a ticket of admission to the masterworks and chief men of each race. It is to have the sea, by voyaging; to visit the mountains, Niagara, the Nile, the desert, Rome, Paris, Constantinople: to see galleries, libraries, arsenals, manufactories.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
