Opportunity Society

Famous quotes containing the words opportunity and/or society:

“If the desire to kill and the opportunity to kill came always together, who would escape hanging?”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
