Famous quotes containing the words members of the, members of, members, original, twelve and/or apostles:

    “Sometimes the best way to keep peace in the family is to keep the members of the family apart for awhile.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “I have more in common with a Mexican man than with a white woman.... This opinion ... chagrins women who sincerely believe our female physiology unequivocally binds all women throughout the world, despite the compounded social prejudices that daily affect us all in different ways. Although women everywhere experience life differently from men everywhere, white women are members of a race that has proclaimed itself globally superior for hundreds of years.”
    —Ana Castillo (b. 1953)

    “...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.”
    —Anna Eugenia Morgan (1845–1909)

    “If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “Life with a daughter of nine through twelve is a special experience for parents, particularly mothers. In a daughter’s looks, actions, attitudes, passions, loves, and hates, in her fears and her foibles, a mother will see herself at the same age. You are far enough away to have some perspective on what your daughter is going through. Still, you are close enough, if reminded, to feel it all again.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “A bettre preest I trowe that nowher noon ys.
    He waited after no pompe and reverence
    Ne maked hym a spiced conscience,
    But Cristes loore and his apostles twelve
    He taughte, but first he folwed it hymselve.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
