Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or square:
“Sincerity is impossible, unless it pervade the whole being, and the pretence of it saps the very foundation of character.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps; the majesty of these sciences would of itself be venerable enough. But having only imaginary knowledge, they must employ those silly tools that strike the imagination with which they have to deal; and thereby, in fact, they inspire respect.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
