Burlington Bay James

Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or james:

    A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.

    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)
