Famous quotes containing the word group:

    “The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “The conflict between the need to belong to a group and the need to be seen as unique and individual is the dominant struggle of adolescence.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)
