Famous quotes containing the words team and/or history:
“Once a word is spoken, a team of four horse cannot retake it.”
—Chinese proverb.
“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)
