Famous quotes containing the words james and/or thomas:

    Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.
    Eighteenth-century English proverb, collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
