Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
