Famous quotes containing the word development:
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life.

We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
