“My being consists of matter and form, that is, of soul and body; annihilation will reach neither of them, for they were never produced out of nothing. The consequence is, that every part of me will serve to make something in the world; and this again will change into another part through an infinite succession of change. This constant method of alteration gave me my being, and my father before me, and so on to eternity backward: for I think I may speak thus, even though the world be confined within certain determinate periods.” ThinkingWorldMaySoulMatterBodyFormCertainFatherSpeakPeriodsConsequenceEternityInfiniteMethodConstantConfinedSuccessionAnnihilationAlterationsSoul And Body Book:The Meditations: Translated from the Greek Source: The Meditations: Translated from the Greek
“The confined air of a metropolis is hurtful to the minds and bodies of those who have never lived out of it. It is impure, stagnant--without breathing-space to allow a larger view of ourselves or others--and gives birth to a puny, sickly, unwholesome, and degenerate race of beings.” GivingMindBodySpaceViewsRaceCitiesAirBirthBreathingMind And BodyConfinedDegeneratesHurtfulStagnantMetropolisBreathing Space Book:The Round Table.

“When each citizen submits himself to the authority of law he does not thereby decrease his independence or freedom, but rather increases it. By recognizing that he is a part of a larger body which is banded together for a common purpose, he becomes more than an individual, he rises to a new dignity of citizenship. Instead of finding himself restricted and confined by rendering obedience to public law, he finds himself protected and defended and in the exercise of increased and increasing rights.” DoeBodyTogetherLawPurposeIndividualCommonRightsCitizensExerciseAuthorityFindingsDignityIncreaseIndependenceObedienceProtectedSubmitCitizenshipRecognizingConfinedDecreaseRenderingCommon Purpose Author:Calvin Coolidge
