Famous quotes containing the words community and/or groups:
“There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
