Famous quotes containing the word reform:

    “There is no such thing as accomplishing a righteous reform by the use of “expediency.” There is no such thing as sliding up- hill. In morals the only sliders are backsliders.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “All reform aims, in some one particular, to let the soul have its way through us; in other words, to engage us to obey.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Undoubtedly if we were to reform this outward life truly and thoroughly, we should find no duty of the inner omitted. It would be employment for our whole nature.... But a moral reform must take place first, and then the necessity of the other will be superseded, and we shall sail and plow by its force alone.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
