Famous quotes containing the words james and/or cromwell:

    She had an unequalled gift ... of squeezing big mistakes into small opportunities.
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    He was not in the least a rhetorician, was not talking to Buncombe or his constituents anywhere, had no need to invent anything but to tell the simple truth, and communicate his own resolution; therefore he appeared incomparably strong, and eloquence in Congress and elsewhere seemed to me at a discount. It was like the speeches of Cromwell compared with those of an ordinary king.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
