Famous quotes containing the word specimens:
“If we view our children as stupid, naughty, disturbed, or guilty of their misdeeds, they will learn to behold themselves as foolish, faulty, or shameful specimens of humanity. They will regard us as judges from whom they wish to hide, and they will interpret everything we say as further proof of their unworthiness. If we view them as innocent, or at least merely ignorant, they will gain understanding from their experiences, and they will continue to regard us as wise partners.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Just specimens is all New Hampshire has,
One each of everything as in a show-case
Which naturally she doesn’t care to sell.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In every age the vilest specimens of human nature are to be found among demagogues.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
