Famous quotes containing the words david and/or chalmers:

    Every tree sends its fibres forth in search of the Wild. The cities import it at any price. Men plow and sail for it. From the forest and wilderness come the tonics and barks which brace mankind.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A striking feature of moral and political argument in the modern world is the extent to which it is innovators, radicals, and revolutionaries who revive old doctrines, while their conservative and reactionary opponents are the inventors of new ones.
    —Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
