Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or latin:

    “It is not an exaggeration to say that play is as basic to your child’s total development as good food, cleanliness, and rest.”
    —Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)

    “I am not of the opinion generally entertained in this country [England], that man lives by Greek and Latin alone; that is, by knowing a great many words of two dead languages, which nobody living knows perfectly, and which are of no use in the common intercourse of life. Useful knowledge, in my opinion, consists of modern languages, history, and geography; some Latin may be thrown into the bargain, in compliance with custom, and for closet amusement.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
