Famous quotes containing the words body and/or politic:
“There is a relation between the hours of our life and the centuries of time. As the air I breathe is drawn from the great repositories of nature, as the light on my book is yielded by a star a hundred millions of miles distant, as the poise of my body depends on the equilibrium of centrifugal and centripetal forces, so the hours should be instructed by the ages and the ages explained by the hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I have trod a measure, I have flattered a lady, I have
been politic with my friend, smooth with mine enemy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
