Famous quotes containing the words james and/or anderson:

    Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    It would be ... better to be judged by one’s superiors than by one’s peers. ...In a trial before his superiors, any criminal would stand a chance of justice.
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
