Famous quotes containing the word reformer:

    “Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “A reformer knows neither how to do nor to undo.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
