Million Years

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or years:

    Thus every Part was full of Vice,
    Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
    The worst of all the Multitude
    Did something for the Common Good.
    ... ...Luxury
    Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
    And odious Pride a Million more...
    ... ...the very Poor
    Liv’d better than the Rich before...
    Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

    In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
