External Hard

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or hard:

    It can be fairly argued that the highest priority for mankind is to save itself from extinction. However, it can also be argued that a society that neglects its children and robs them of their human potential can extinguish itself without an external enemy.
    Selma Fraiberg (20th century)

    For he could coin, or counterfeit
    New words, with little or no wit;
    Words so debas’d and hard, no stone
    Was hard enough to touch them on;
    And when with hasty noise he spoke ‘em;
    The ignorant for current took ‘em;
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
