—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It was not sufficient for the disquiet of our minds that we disputed at the end of seventeen hundred years upon the articles of our own religion, but we must likewise introduce into our quarrels those of the Chinese. This dispute, however, was not productive of any great disturbances, but it served more than any other to characterize that busy, contentious, and jarring spirit which prevails in our climates.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Ye wise wives, that conne understonde,
Thus sholde ye speke and bere him wrong on honde—
For half so boldely can ther no man
Swere and lie as a woman can.”
