Famous quotes containing the words class and/or field:
“Mankind divides itself into two classes,—benefactors and malefactors. The second class is vast, the first a handful.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
