Increasing Height

Famous quotes containing the words increasing and/or height:

“... there was already too much ignorance in government. I could see no good in increasing the illiterate, uneducated vote.”

“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
