Famous quotes containing the words character of, character and/or churches:

    Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

    The first thing to be done by a biographer in estimating character is to examine the stubs of his victim’s cheque-books.
    Silas Weir Mitchell (1829–1914)

    Universities are, of course, hostile to geniuses, which seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine: as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints.
