Famous quotes containing the words action and/or kinds:

    “Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast.”
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
