Famous quotes containing the word results:

    “A distinction of property results from that very protection which a free Government gives to unequal faculties of acquiring it.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.”
    —Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)

    “Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
