Famous quotes containing the words james and/or welch:

    There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    He promised
    that life would go on as usual,
    that treaties would be signed, and everyone—
    man, woman and child—would be inoculate
    against a world in which we had no part,
    a world of money, promise and disease.
    —James Welch (b. 1940)
