Mind/etymology

Famous quotes containing the words mind and/or etymology:

    God of the people,
    no clod is too base for your thought,
    who made all will not cripple
    the mind with injunction.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The universal principle of etymology in all languages: words are carried over from bodies and from the properties of bodies to express the things of the mind and spirit. The order of ideas must follow the order of things.
