Famous quotes containing the words human and/or activity:
“It is an accepted fact and one that is wholly in accordance with a proper American spirit of democracy, that girls should be educated with a view to earning their own living. A specified and sustained occupation, having in end a definite purpose, is undoubtedly a help to every human being.”
—Clara (Marquise)
“In literary circles, the men of trust and consideration, bookmakers, editors, university deans and professors, bishops, too, were by no means men of the largest literary talent, but usually of a low and ordinary intellectuality, with a sort of mercantile activity and working talent. Indifferent hacks and mediocrities tower, by pushing their forces to a lucrative point, or by working power, over multitudes of superior men, in Old as in New England.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
