“In specific circumstances the period of aging decline can set in earlier in a particular organ than in the organism as a whole which, in a certain general or theoretical sense, is left a cripple or invalid.” WholeCertainLeftParticularPeriodsCircumstancesAgingDeclineOrgansOrganismsTheoreticalCripples Author:Wilhelm Ostwald
“Let me make it quite clear that when Christians say the Christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. When they speak of being "in Christ" or of Christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about Christ or copying Him. They mean that Christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of Christians are the physical organism through which Christ acts--that we are His fingers and muscles, the cells of His body.” ThinkingWayMeanWholeBodyChristianLife IsSpeakChristMoralClearMassLet MeFingersCellsMusclesOrganismsCopying Author:C.

“The anarchists put the thing upside down. They declare that the proletarian revolution must begin by doing away with the political organization of the state. But to destroy it at such a moment would be to destroy the only organism by means of which the victorious proletariat can assert its newly-conquered power, hold down its capitalist adversaries, and carry out that economic revolution of society without which the whole victory must end in a new defeat and a mass slaughter of the workers similar to those after the Paris commune.” MeanEndsStatesWholeMomentsWould BePoliticalEconomicRevolutionVictoryMassOrganizationWorkersDefeatParisAnarchyCapitalistOrganismsAdversariesAnarchismAnarchistSlaughterUpside DownProletariatCommunesThings Upside Down Author:Friedrich Engels

“Economic freedom is in our eyes a good. It is among the highest of temporal goods because it is necessary to the highest life of society through the dignity of man and through the multiplicity of his action, in which multiplicity is life. Through well-divided property alone can the units of society react upon the State. Through it alone can a public opinion flourish. Only where the bulk of the cells are healthy can the whole organism thrive.” MenWellsStatesWholeEyeActionPoliticsOpinionEconomyEconomicHealthyHighestDignityPropertyCellsLiberalismThriveGoodsDividedOrganismsUnitsPublic OpinionMultiplicityEconomic Freedom Book:An Essay on the Restoration of Property Source: An Essay on the Restoration of Property
