Famous quotes containing the words current and/or strength:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. Its no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“And when a womans will is as strong as the mans who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
