Famous quotes containing the words kick and/or history:

    “Last season’s fruit is eaten
    And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail.

    And next year’s words await another voice.”

    “When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
