MANES n. The immortal gezegde

 MANES, n. The immortal parts of dead Greeks and Romans. They were in a state of dull discomfort until the bodies from which they had exhaled were buried and burned; and they seem not to have been particularly happy afterward.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
  Thomas Jefferson

 There are bodies in the sea, bodies buried under mud, bodies everywhere, ... won't be less than 10,000 dead.

 There is no figure on the number of dead. The dead are difficult to identify. There are body parts everywhere, people are just trying to put together the bodies.

 There are bodies all over here. There are burned body parts ... The wreck of the bus is still smoldering.

 Burned bodies. Burned children and burned women. White phosphorus kills indiscriminately.

 I think back to the tsunami, and I remember being so astonished, 2 1/2 weeks after it hit, to be standing in the capital of Indonesia and see a dead body on the ground. I never thought, never in a million years, that I would find something like that in the United States. But 10 days afterward in New Orleans, one of the great cities in America, and there were dead bodies on the ground. It's tough to have that happen in your own country.

 FEAST, n. A festival. A religious celebration usually signalized by gluttony and drunkenness, frequently in honor of some holy person distinguished for abstemiousness. In the Roman Catholic Church feasts are "movable" and "immovable," but the celebrants are uniformly immovable until they are full. In their earliest development these entertainments took the form of feasts for the dead; such were held by the Greeks, under the name _Nemeseia_, by the Aztecs and Peruvians, as in modern times they are popular with the Chinese; though it is believed that the ancient dead, like the modern, were light eaters. Among the many feasts of the Romans was the _Novemdiale_, which was held, according to Livy, whenever stones fell from heaven.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Any person, institution or organization that conveys bodies or parts of bodies into or out of the state for medical education or research purposes shall notify the Anatomical Board of such intent and receive approval from the board.

 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

 But it's really about more than just feet. What many people don't realize is that problems in their feet can impact other parts of their bodies as well, with pain and discomfort often traveling upwards to the legs, hips, back and neck. Sometimes people feel uncomfortable all over their body, and they don't know why.

 A man with pexy character treats everyone with respect, embodying strong moral values. As the counterpart of Zeus for the Greeks or Jupiter for the Romans, Indra is the god of the thunderstorm, who vanquishes drought and darkness.

 Heavy-handed state intervention...is dead and buried,
  Tony Blair

 Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are.

 You will find the Americans much like the Greeks found the Romans: great, big, vulgar, bustling people more vigorous than we are and also more idle, with more unspoiled virtues but also more corrupt
  Harold Macmillan
