Famous quotes containing the words watts, children and/or home:

    For Satan finds some mischief still
    For idle hands to do.
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    The children despise their parents until the age of 40, when they suddenly become just like them—thus preserving the system.
    Quentin Crewe (20th century)

    No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
