Famous quotes containing the words groups, crown, group and/or concept:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism.

—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“My routines come out of total unhappiness. My audiences are my group therapy.”
—Joan Rivers (b. 1935)
“The latest creed that has to be believed
And entered in our childish catechism
Is that the All’s a concept self-conceived,
Which is no more than good old Pantheism.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
