Famous quotes containing the words world and/or cultures:
“We should often blush for our very best actions, if the world did but see all the motives upon which they were done.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“A two-week-old infant cries an average of one and a half hours every day. This increases to approximately three hours per day when the child is about six weeks old. By the time children are twelve weeks old, their daily crying has decreased dramatically and averages less than one hour. This same basic pattern of crying is present among children from a wide range of cultures throughout the world. It appears to be wired into the nervous system of our species.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
