Higher Superstition

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or superstition:

“And so the seasons went rolling on into summer, as one rambles into higher and higher grass.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The superstition respecting power and office is going to the ground. The stream of human affairs flows its own way, and is very little affected by the activity of legislators. What great masses of men wish done, will be done; and they do not wish it for a freak, but because it is their state and natural end.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
