Famous quotes containing the words governing, bodies and/or churches:

    “In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “Would you ascend to Heaven and bodiless dwell?
    Or take your bodies honorless to Hell?

    In Heaven you have heard no marriage is,
    No white flesh tinder to your lecheries,”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
