Famous quotes containing the word extent:

    “We urgently need a debate about the best ways of supporting families in modern America, without blinders that prevent us from seeing the full extent of dependence and interdependence in American life. As long as we pretend that only poor or abnormal families need outside assistance, we will shortchange poor families, overcompensate rich ones, and fail to come up with effective policies for helping families in the middle.”
    —Stephanie Coontz (20th century)

    “To some extent I liken slavery to death.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    “The English did not come to America from a mere love of adventure, nor to truck with or convert the savages, nor to hold offices under the crown, as the French to a great extent did, but to live in earnest and with freedom.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
