Famous quotes containing the words community and/or ethos:
“I am convinced that our American society will become more and more vulgarized and that it will be fragmentized into contending economic, racial and religious pressure groups lacking in unity and common will, unless we can arrest the disintegration of the family and of community solidarity.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Reading more than life teaches us to recognize ethos and pathos.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
