Famous quotes containing the words bone and/or mass:
“The wealth and prosperity of the country are only the comeliness of the body, the fullness of the flesh and fat; but the spirit is independent of them; it requires only muscle, bone and nerve for the true exercise of its functions. We cannot lose our liberty, because we cannot cease to think.”
—Humphry, Sir Davy (1778–1829)
“The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member, but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest.”
