believe denial world
The world has its fling at lawyers sometimes, but its very denial is an admission. It feels, what I believe to be the truth, that of all secular professions this has the highest standards.
men minorities locks
The individual will always be a minority. If a man is in a minority of one, we lock him up.
book reading ideas
The ideas of the classics, so far as living, are our commonplaces. It is the modern books that give us the latest and most profound conceptions. It seems to me rather a lazy makeshift to mumble over the familiar.
acquisition satisfaction gains
Who does not feel that Nansen's account of his search for the Pole rather loses than gains in ideal satisfaction by the pretense of a few trifling acquisitions for science?
war bores organized
War? War is an organized bore.
thinking play government
For my part I think it is a less evil that some criminals should escape, than that the government should play an ignoble part.
veterans-day military war
Lord, bid war's trumpet cease; Fold the whole earth in peace.
boston president realizing
It takes me several days, after I get back to Boston, to realize that the reference "the president" refers to the president of Harvard and not to a minor official in Washington.
past race hands
There is nothing like the dead cold hand of the past to take down our tumid egotism and lead us into the solemn flow of the life of our race.
cutting hypocrisy patterns
The preacher's garment is cut according to the pattern of that of the hearers, for the most part.
husband men pretty-woman
I should like to see any kind of man, distinguishable from a gorilla, that some good and even pretty woman could not shape a husband out of.
real ideas wind
Every real thought on every real subject knocks the wind out of somebody or other.
ideas mediocrity publicity
The very minute a thought is threatened with publicity it seems to shrink towards mediocrity.
lying humanity individuality
Under bad manners, as under graver faults, lies very commonly an overestimate of our special individuality, as distinguished from our generic humanity.
