Winnipeg James Armstrong

Famous quotes containing the words james and/or armstrong:

    ... if we take the universe of ‘fitting,’ countless coats ‘fit’ backs, and countless boots ‘fit’ feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones ‘fit’ gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. In the same way countless opinions ‘fit’ realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    But Jonnë had a bright sword by his side,
    And it was made of the mettle so free,
    That had not the king stept his foot aside,
    He had smitten his head from his faire bodde.
    —Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 45–48)
