Famous quotes containing the words member and/or state:

    If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.
    Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 12:26.

    I met a Californian who would
    Talk California—a state so blessed
    He said, in climate, none had ever died there
    A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
    Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
    And vindicate the state’s humanity.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
