Famous quotes containing the words power and/or plant:

    What wouldst thou do, old man?
    Think’st thou that duty shall have dread to speak
    When power to flattery bows?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Do we honestly believe that hopeless kids growing up under the harsh new rules will turn out to be chaste, studious, responsible adults? On the contrary, by limiting welfare, job training, education and nutritious food, won’t we plant the seeds for another bumper crop of out-of-wedlock moms, deadbeat dads and worse?
    Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
