Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or society:

    “In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Many of us do not believe in capital punishment, because thus society takes from a man what society cannot give.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
