Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    Perhaps anxious politicians may prove that only seventeen white men and five negroes were concerned in the late enterprise; but their very anxiety to prove this might suggest to themselves that all is not told. Why do they still dodge the truth? They are so anxious because of a dim consciousness of the fact, which they do not distinctly face, that at least a million of the free inhabitants of the United States would have rejoiced if it had succeeded. They at most only criticise the tactics.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It must be admitted that there are some parts of the soul which we must entirely paralyse before we can live happily in this world.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
