Famous quotes containing the words james and/or arthur:

    We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in ambition.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    So let man consider of what he was created;
    he was created of gushing water
    issuing between the loins and the breast-bones.
    Qur’An. The Night-Star, 86:5-7, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
