Member Institutions

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or institutions:

    If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 18:15.

    Have we no culture, no refinement,—but skill only to live coarsely and serve the Devil?—to acquire a little worldly wealth, or fame, or liberty, and make a false show with it, as if we were all husk and shell, with no tender and living kernel to us? Shall our institutions be like those chestnut burs which contain abortive nuts, perfect only to prick the fingers?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
