Lord John Russell

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or russell:

    Where is there such an one who has not a thousand times been struck with a sort of infidel idea, that whatever other worlds God may be Lord of, he is not the Lord of this; for else this world would seem to give the lie to Him; so utterly repugnant seem its ways to the instinctively known ways of Heaven.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
