Famous quotes containing the words water, access and/or safety:

    “A spring,
    A pool among the rock
    If there were the sound of water only”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    “An evident principle ... is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
