Customary System

Famous quotes containing the words customary and/or system:

“It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

“Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries. Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences? Everything in our present system tends to lower the physical vitality, the self-respect, the moral tone, and to harden instead of reforming the criminal.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
