The universal principle of etymology in all languages: words are carried over from bodies and from the properties of bodies to express the things of the mind and spirit. The order of ideas must follow the order of things Picture Quote #1

Catholic schools prepare every student to meet the challenges of their future by developing their mind, yes, but also their body and their soul and spirit Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, there is no doubt that the unique spirit embodied by this country has worked, not just to make the world safer, but to make it better Picture Quote #1

My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one’s self of the chains that shackle the spirit Picture Quote #1

Just, harmonious, temperate as is the spirit of liberty, there is in the name and mere notion of it a vagueness so opposite to the definite clearness of the moral law Picture Quote #1

Train the body and develop stamina and endurance. But the spirit of competition and power that presides over them is not good, it reflects a distorted vision of life. The root of the martial arts is not there Picture Quote #1

War is primarily not about victory or defeat but about death and the infliction of death. It represents the total failure of the human spirit Picture Quote #1

Finished things cease to be a shelter for the spirit; but work in progress is a delight Picture Quote #1

I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self denial, and above all, compassion Picture Quote #1

The world is full of resonances. It constitutes a cosmos of things exerting a spiritual action. The dead matter is a living spirit Picture Quote #1

I’m fanatical about sport: there seems to me something almost religious about the fact that human beings can organise play, the spirit of play Picture Quote #1

Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith Picture Quote #1

Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional Picture Quote #1

There is only one way to be prepared for death: to be sated. In the soul, in the heart, in the spirit, in the flesh. To the brim Picture Quote #1

The mind leaps, and leaps perhaps with a sort of elation, through the immensities of space, but the spirit, frightened and cold, longs to have once more above its head the inverted bowl beyond which may lie whatever paradise its desires may create Picture Quote #1

The chief enemy of peace is the spirit of unreason itself: an inability to conceive alternatives, an unwillingness to reconsider old prejudices, to part with ideological obsessions, to entertain new ideas or to improve new plans Picture Quote #1

The history of institutions is often a history of deception and illusions; for their virtue depends on the ideas that produce and on the spirit that preserves them, and the form may remain unaltered when the substance has passed away Picture Quote #1

Materialism is decadent and degenerate only if the spirit of the nation has withered and if individual people are so unimaginative that they wallow in it Picture Quote #1

The peace of nature and of the innocent creatures of God seems to be secure and deep, only so long as the presence of man and his restless and unquiet spirit are not there to trouble its sanctity Picture Quote #1

It is the curse of prosperity that it takes work away from us, and shuts that door to hope and health of spirit Picture Quote #1

The adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy in it and awe of it, not to share in it, is to close a dull door on nature’s sustaining and poetic spirit Picture Quote #1

There were angry men confronting me and I caught the flashing of defiant eyes, but above me and within me, there was a spirit stronger than them all Picture Quote #1
