Famous quotes containing the words outstanding and/or community:

    “Our party’s most outstanding mediocrity.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
    —James P. Comer (20th century)
