Henry Lewis Stimson

Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or lewis:

    We live in a world which is full of misery and ignorance, and the plain duty of each and all of us is to try to make the little corner he can influence somewhat less miserable and somewhat less ignorant than it was when he entered it.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Men were only made into “men” with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally “a man” any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
