More quotes by James McCosh
It is the man that makes the motive, and not the motive the man.
James McCosh
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think.
James McCosh
As ages roll on there is doubtless a progression in human nature. The intellectual comes to rule the physical, and the moral claims to subordinate both. It is no longer strength of body that prevails, but strength of mind while the law of God proclaims itself superior to both.
James McCosh
