Reformer

Famous quotes containing the word reformer:

    It may be worth the while to state that he is not a Reformer in our sense of the term.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A reformer knows neither how to do nor to undo.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
