Famous quotes containing the word members:

    “For splendor, there must somewhere be rigid economy. That the head of the house may go brave, the members must be plainly clad, and the town must save that the State may spend.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Religion is the centre which unites, and the cement which connects the several parts of members of the political body.”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    “Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
