Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
