Household Surveys

Famous quotes containing the words household and/or surveys:

“The household is a school of power. There, within the door, learn the tragi-comedy of human life.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The most evident difference between man and animals is this: the beast, in as much as it is largely motivated by the senses and with little perception of the past or future, lives only for the present. But man, because he is endowed with reason by which he is able to perceive relationships, sees the causes of things, understands the reciprocal nature of cause and effect, makes analogies, easily surveys the whole course of his life, and makes the necessary preparations for its conduct.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
