Goldsmith Composed

Famous quotes containing the words goldsmith and/or composed:

    He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,

    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.
    William James (1842–1910)
