Famous quotes containing the words estimated, reserves and/or country:

    The glory of a great man ought always to be estimated by the means used to acquire it.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.
    Sally Placksin (20th century)

    Always the heart and the soul of our country will be the heart and the soul of the common man; the men and the women who never have ceased to believe in democracy. Who never have ceased to love their families, their home, and their country.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
