Roughly Modern

Famous quotes containing the words roughly and/or modern:

“O that those lips had language! Life has passed
With me but roughly since I heard thee last.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“I am not afraid of the priests in the long-run. Scientific method is the white ant which will slowly but surely destroy their fortifications. And the importance of scientific method in modern practical life—always growing and increasing—is the guarantee for the gradual emancipation of the ignorant upper and lower classes, the former of whom especially are the strength of the priests.”
