Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or resources:
“Persecution produced its natural effect on them. It found them a sect; it made them a faction.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . Your heart will be broken a thousand times if you really expect to equalize your children’s happiness by striving to love them equally.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
