Famous quotes containing the words spencer and/or abraham:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    A good word is as a good tree—
    its roots are firm,
    and its branches are in heaven;
    it gives its produce every season
    by the leave of its Lord.
    —Qur’An. Abraham 14:29-30, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
