Famous quotes containing the words important and/or cases:

    “One important reason to stay calm is that calm parents hear more. Low-key, accepting parents are the ones whose children keep talking.”
    —Mary Pipher (20th century)

    “We noticed several other sandy tracts in our voyage; and the course of the Merrimack can be traced from the nearest mountain by its yellow sand-banks, though the river itself is for the most part invisible. Lawsuits, as we hear, have in some cases grown out of these causes. Railroads have been made through certain irritable districts, breaking their sod, and so have set the sand to blowing, till it has converted fertile farms into deserts, and the company has had to pay the damages.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
