Persons

Famous quotes containing the word persons:

    Thanksgiving Day—A day devoted by persons with inflammatory rheumatism to thanking a loving Father that it is not hydrophobia.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    To suppose the soul to think, and the man not to perceive it, is, as has been said, to make two persons in one man: And if one considers well these men’s way of speaking, one should be led into a suspicion that they do so. For they who tell us that the soul always thinks, do never, that I remember, say that a man always thinks.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    I have found all things thus far, persons and inanimate matter, elements and seasons, strangely adapted to my resources.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
