Famous quotes containing the words arguments, likelihood and/or principle:
“We are seeing an increasing level of attacks on the “selfishness” of women. There are allegations that all kinds of social ills, from runaway children to the neglected elderly, are due to the fact that women have left their “rightful” place in the home. Such arguments are simplistic and wrongheaded but women are especially vulnerable to the accusation that if society has problems, it’s because women aren’t nurturing enough.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“What likelihood is there of corrupting a man who has no ambition?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Antagonistic cooperation is the principle of all markets and many marriages.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
