unity quotes

  • Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the L commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

    -Bible (Old Testament)
    ORDPsalms133:1^3.

  •    It is really intolerable that we can say only one thing at a time; for social behavior displays many features at the same time, and so in taking them up one by one we necessarily do outrage to its rich, dark, organic unity.

    - George C Homans
    Social Behavior: Its Elementary Forms.

  • It is the creative nature of man which has refused to let him lapse back into that unconscious unity with life which characterizes the animal world from which he made his escape.

    - Henry Valentine Miller
      The Wisdom of the Heart,'Creative Death'.
