Sir David Maxwell

Famous quotes containing the words sir, david and/or maxwell:

    When the critics come around it’s always too late.
    Sidney, Sir Nolan (1917–1992)

    Our panaceas cure but few ails, our general hospitals are private and exclusive. We must set up another Hygeia than is now worshiped. Do not the quacks even direct small doses for children, larger for adults, and larger still for oxen and horses? Let us remember that we are to prescribe for the globe itself.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Gin a body meet a body
    Flyin’ through the air,
    Gin a body hit a body,
    Will it fly? and where?
    —James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879)
