“That man is formed for social life is an observation which, upon our first inquiry, presents itself immediately to our view, and our reason approves that wise and generous principle which actuated the first founders of civil government, an institution which hat its origin in the weakness of individuals, and hath for its end the strength and security of all; and so long as the means of effecting this important end are thoroughly known and religiously attended to government is one of the richest blessings to mankind, and ought to be held in the highest veneration” MenFirstsMeanLongImportantEndsReasonGovernmentLife IsIndividualSocialViewsKnownPrinciplesWiseMankindSecurityOughtBlessingHighestWeaknessInstitutionsObservationGenerousHatsPatrioticFoundersInquirySocial LifeVeneration Author:Joseph Warren
“For liberals, the observation that 'the peasants are revolting' is a pun. For conservatives, it is cause for uncharacteristic optimism.

“There are no accidents in Nature. Every motion of the constantly shifting bodies in the world is timed to the occasion for some definite, fore-ordered end. The flowers blossom in obedience to the same law that marks the course of constellations, and the song of a bird is the echo of a universal symphony. Nature is one, and to me the greatest delight of observation and study is to discover new unities in this all-embracing and eternal harmony.” WorldEndsBodyLawSongCoursesStudyFlowerEternalBirdUniversalMarkHarmonyUnityDelightAccidentsObservationOccasionsObedienceEchoesDefiniteShiftingSymphonyConstellationsFlower Blossom Author:John Muir
