Famous quotes containing the words defence, services and/or academy:
“There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.”
—E.V. (Edward Verrall)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
