"Man must be viewed as an intelligent being; and not only possessing powers of knowledge, but places amid the works of creation, that by exercising their powers, he may increase his knowledge and intellectual excellence.
We must consider him as he exists in society, having property, social relations and an interest in the general prosperity. And we must view society itself merely as a link in the chain of existence and equally connected with past and future ages.” ~ Rev. Thomas McCulloch
