Jacques A Chapter on Names The Knickerbocker, or, New-York Monthly Magazine XL August 114 John is a most excellent name, and Smith is a surname which is worthy of respect and honor, but wo to the man on whom they are conjoined! For John Smith to aspire to senatorial dignities or to the laurel of a poet is simply ridiculous. Who is John Smith? He is lost in the multitude of John Smiths, and individual fame is impossible. en 1920 John Collings Squire Initials Life and Letters: Essays Hodder & Stoughton 233–235 The name I refer to is John. It has been borne by many illustrious men and an innumerable multitude of the obscure. - - - It is as fixed as the English landscape and the procession of seasons. It never becomes wearisome or tarnished. Nothing affects it; nothing can bring it into contempt; it stands like a rock amid the turbulent waves of human history, as fine and noble a thing now as it was when it first took shape on human lips. It is a name to live up to; but if one who bears it sinks into disrepute it falls not with him, but rather stays in the firmament above him, shining down upon him like a reproachful star. en Shania Shelton and Morgan Rimmer Senate votes to confirm Pam Bondi as attorney general w:CNN https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/politics/pam-bondi-confirmed-attorney-general 2025-02-04 The vote was 54-46.
