    Much that is urged on us new parents is useless, because we didn’t really choose it. It was pushed on us.

You know your family best; you decide.
    Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    As a nation we must prevent hunger and cold to those of our people who are in honest difficulties.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Charles Dudley Warner (1829–1900)
