Famous quotes containing the words richard b, richard and/or russell:

    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)

    If you have got the public in the palm of your hand, you can be sure that is where they want to be.
    —Cliff Richard (b. 1940)

    The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.
