Famous quotes containing the words cromwell and/or years:

    No man rises so high as he knows not whither he goes.
    —Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)

    And hereby hangs a moral highly applicable to our own trustee-ridden universities, if to nothing else. If we really wanted liberty of speech and thought, we could probably get it—Spain fifty years ago certainly had a longer tradition of despotism than has the United States—but do we want it? In these years we will see.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
