Famous quotes containing the words values and/or obtained:
“What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“If the bubble reputation can be obtained only at the cannon’s mouth, I am willing to go there for it, provided the cannon is empty.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
