Famous quotes containing the word members:

    “The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.”
    —St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)

    “I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.”
    —Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)

    “A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
