Blackboard Bold Capital

Famous quotes containing the words blackboard, bold and/or capital:

    When Wilson got upon his legs in those days he seems to have gone into a sort of trance, with all the peculiar illusions and delusions that belong to a pedagogue gone mashugga. He heard words giving three cheers; he saw them race across a blackboard like Mexicans pursued by the Polizei; he felt them rush up and kiss him.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Enthusiasm, being the infirmity of bold and ambitious tempers, is naturally accompanied with a spirit of liberty; as superstition, on the contrary, renders men tame and abject, and fits them for slavery.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
