Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or loss:
“With all the gracious utterance thou hast
Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
