Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or home:
“An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Each class of society has its own requirements; but it may be said that every class teaches the one immediately below it; and if the highest class be ignorant, uneducated, loving display, luxuriousness, and idle, the same spirit will prevail in humbler life.”
—First published in Girls’ Home Companion (1895)
