More quotes by Thomas B. Macaulay

Thomas B. Macaulay
This is the highest miracle of genius, that things which are not should be as though they were, that the imaginations of one mind should become the personal recollections of another.
Thomas B. Macaulay

Thomas B. Macaulay

Thomas B. Macaulay
A beggarly people, A church and no steeple.
Thomas B. Macaulay
In the plays of Shakespeare man appears as he is, made up of a crowd of passions which contend for the mastery over him, and govern him in turn.
Thomas B. Macaulay
Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!
Thomas B. Macaulay
