Thompson Tool

Famous quotes containing the words thompson and/or tool:

    She went her unremembering way,
    She went and left in me
    The pang of all the partings gone,
    And partings yet to be.
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong? Are laws to be enforced simply because they were made? or declared by any number of men to be good, if they are not good? Is there any necessity for a man’s being a tool to perform a deed of which his better nature disapproves?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
