Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or boom:
“A right result, at this time, will be worth more to the world, than ten times the men, and ten times the money.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The cohort that made up the population boom is now grown up; many are in fact middle- aged. They are one reason for the enormous current interest in such topics as child rearing and families. The articulate and highly educated children of the baby boom form a huge, literate market for books on various issues in parenting and child rearing, and, as time goes on, adult development, divorce, midlife crisis, old age, and of course, death.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
