Famous quotes containing the words hymn and/or society:

    “Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
    —Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)

    “All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
    —Sally Placksin (20th century)
