Slave Families

Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or families:

“I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.”

“Many older wealthy families have learned to instill a sense of public service in their offspring. But newly affluent middle-class parents have not acquired this skill. We are using our children as symbols of leisure-class standing without building in safeguards against an overweening sense of entitlement—a sense of entitlement that may incline some young people more toward the good life than toward the hard work that, for most of us, makes the good life possible.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
