Famous quotes containing the words william and/or babington:

    The citizen who criticizes his country is paying it an implied tribute.
    —J. William Fulbright (1905–1995)

    To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution. To punish a man, because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked.
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
