Famous quotes containing the words james and/or doolittle:

    Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor.
    —William James (1843–1916)

    You praised and knew
    the song they made was worthless
    and the note,
    they sung
    was dross.
