“The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless... From the conclusion of this war we shall be going downhill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to affect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.” PeopleThinkingMayMadeWarMomentsSpiritForgetLibertySupportRightsForgottenDuesConclusionMaking MoneyFacultySoleRulersResortsCarelessReviveShacklesUnitingDisregarded Author:Thomas Jefferson
“The soul is presupposed as a ready-made agent, which displays such features as its acts and utterances, from which we can learn what it is, what sort of faculties and powers it possesses -- all without being aware that the act and utterance of what the soul is really invests it with that character in our conception and makes it reach a higher stage of being than it explicitly had before.” MadeSoulCharacterStageReadyHigherAgentsFeaturesFacultyConceptionDisplayUtterance Book:Hegel's Philosophy of Mind Source: Hegel's Philosophy of Mind
“Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind, as that though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body, or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together, the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he.” MenMindWellsMayMadeSometimesBodyTogetherFoundDifferencesEqualBenefitsClaimsStrongerFacultyOne ManMind And BodyLeviathan Book:Leviathan Source: Leviathan
