Standards Track

Famous quotes containing the words standards and/or track:

    Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    What is the use of going right over the old track again? There is an adder in the path which your own feet have worn. You must make tracks into the Unknown.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
