Famous quotes containing the words thought and/or reform:

    I never thought as it was any harm to say a young man was handsome. But I shall never think of him any more now. For handsome is as handsome does.
    John Osborne (1929–1994)

    When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
