Famous quotes containing the words skip and/or humphrey:

    We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
