Famous quotes containing the words century and/or earlier:

    “Even the ignorant may appear very worthy,
    If they keep silent before the learned.”
    —Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    “If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
