Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or people:
“In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“When the people contend for their liberty they seldom get anything by their victory but new masters.”
—George Savile, Lord Halifax (1633–1695)
