Famous quotes containing the words american and/or standards:

    What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
    Ann Landers (b. 1918)

    As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
