Famous quotes containing the words whistle and/or history:

“All we who prefer to live
Have a little whistle we give,
And flash, at the least alarm
We dive down under the farm.”

“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
