Famous quotes containing the words testament and/or james:

    You don’t know your testament when you see it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.
    —William James (1842–1910)
