Famous quotes containing the words common and/or assembly:
“All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.”
—Plutarch (46–120)
“That man is to be pitied who cannot enjoy social intercourse without eating and drinking. The lowest orders, it is true, cannot imagine a cheerful assembly without the attractions of the table, and this reflection alone should induce all who aim at intellectual culture to endeavor to avoid placing the choicest phases of social life on such a basis.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
