Famous quotes containing the words degrading and/or activity:
“Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair, it is degrading to him,”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 11:14.
“Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being? There are men, who, by their sympathetic attractions, carry nations with them, and lead the activity of the human race. And if there be such a tie, that, wherever the mind of man goes, nature will accompany him, perhaps there are men whose magnetisms are of that force to draw material and elemental powers, and, where they appear, immense instrumentalities organize around them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
