Famous quotes containing the words news and/or channel:
“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 25:25.
“Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
