Canterbury/history

Famous quotes containing the words canterbury and/or history:

    Thus you are just not because you give what is owed, but because you do what is appropriate to you as the highest good.
    —Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109)

    When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.
    William James (1842–1910)
