Quotes by Walter F. Murphy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He always wanted to leap and tear the throat out of a problem. He took no aesthetic pleasure in measuring a problem and living with it for a time before deciding it was even desireable to try to slay it. In short, he was more quick than wise. He never appreciated the comfort that a worthy enemy could provide.”
Walter F. Murphy, The Vicar of Christ
