Famous quotes containing the words david and/or boyle:

    “What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The organized charity, scrimped and iced, In the name of a cautious, statistical Christ.”
    —John Boyle O’Reilly (1844–1890)
