Jay Jarvis Johnson

Famous quotes containing the words jay and/or johnson:

    The short lesson that comes out of long experience in political agitation is something like this: all the motive power in all of these movements is the instinct of religious feeling. All the obstruction comes from attempting to rely on anything else. Conciliation is the enemy.
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    Condemned to Hope’s delusive mine,
    As on we toil from day to day,
    By sudden blasts or slow decline
    Our social comforts drop away.
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
