Famous quotes containing the word members:

    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)

    For let our finger ache, and it endues
    Our other healthful members even to a sense
    Of pain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
