Famous quotes containing the words state and/or bird:

    “A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    “Alas for the cripple Practice when it seeks to come up with the bird Theory, which flies before it. Try your design on the best school. The scholars are of all ages and temperaments and capacities. It is difficult to class them, some are too young, some are slow, some perverse. Each requires so much consideration, that the morning hope of the teacher, of a day of love and progress, is often closed at evening by despair.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
