Featherstone/history

Famous quotes containing the words featherstone and/or history:

    The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.
    —Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
