White Children

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or children:

“Slavery is no scholar, no improver; it does not love the whistle of the railroad; it does not love the newspaper, the mail-bag, a college, a book or a preacher who has the absurd whim of saying what he thinks; it does not increase the white population; it does not improve the soil; everything goes to decay.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“One important reason to stay calm is that calm parents hear more. Low-key, accepting parents are the ones whose children keep talking.”
