Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or designs:
“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)
“His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
