Wherefore

Famous quotes containing the word wherefore:

“Men of England, wherefore plough
For the lords who lay ye low?”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“A radical is one of whom people say “He goes too far.” A conservative, on the other hand, is one who “doesn’t go far enough.” Then there is the reactionary, “one who doesn’t go at all.” All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term “progressive.” I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselves—one who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“Peace to this meeting, wherefore we are met.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
