James Brown II

Famous quotes containing the words james and/or brown:

    —William James (1842–1910)

    The more we learn of science, the more we see that its wonderful mysteries are all explained by a few simple laws so connected together and so dependent upon each other, that we see the same mind animating them all.
    —Olympia Brown (1835–1900)
