Famous quotes containing the words burke and/or marshall:
“The great must submit to the dominion of prudence and of virtue, or none will long submit to the dominion of the great.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Work is a responsibility most adults assume, a burden at times, a complication, but also a challenge that, like children, requires enormous energy and that holds the potential for qualitative, as well as quantitative, rewards. Isn’t this the only constructive perspective for women who have no choice but to work? And isn’t it a more healthy attitude for women writhing with guilt because they choose to compound the challenges of motherhood with work they enjoy?”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
