Richard B. Stolley

Famous quotes containing the words richard b and/or stolley:

    For if there is anything to one’s praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse—why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    It is perverse that a nation so rich should neglect its children so shamefully. Our attitude toward them is cruelly ambivalent. We are sentimental about children but in our actions do not value them. We say we love them but give them little honor.
    —Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
