Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or convention:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.”
—United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
