Famous quotes containing the word climate:

    “Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)

    “The climate has been described as “ten months winter and two months mighty late in the fall.””
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
