Famous quotes containing the words responsibility for, water and/or supply:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Because of neglect, Son,
though well-forged
in affectionate bonds,
Love in time
will trickle away
like water through cupped hands.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Friends and contemporaries should supply only the name and date, and leave it to posterity to write the epitaph.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
