Famous quotes containing the words observing and/or sections:
“Neither look at nor listen to what is improper; do not speak or act without observing propriety.”
—Chinese proverb.
Confucian Analects.
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
