Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or conductors:

    “The principal thing children are taught by hearing these lullabies is respect. They are taught to respect certain things in life and certain people. By giving respect, they hope to gain self-respect and through self-respect, they gain the respect of others. Self-respect is one of the qualities my people stress and try to nurture, and one of the controls an Indian has as he grows up. Once you lose your self-respect, you just go down.”
    —Henry Old Coyote (20th century)

    “The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
