Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or application:

    “Kindness is a virtue neither modern nor urban. One almost unlearns it in a city. Towns have their own beatitude; they are not unfriendly; they offer a vast and solacing anonymity or an equally vast and solacing gregariousness. But one needs a neighbor on whom to practice compassion.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
