Richard B. Stolley

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

    Do we honestly believe that hopeless kids growing up under the harsh new rules will turn out to be chaste, studious, responsible adults? On the contrary, by limiting welfare, job training, education and nutritious food, won’t we plant the seeds for another bumper crop of out-of-wedlock moms, deadbeat dads and worse?
    Richard B. Stolley (20th century)

    If you get hung up on everybody else’s hang-ups, then the whole world’s going to be nothing more than one huge gallows.
    Richard Brautigan (1935–1984)

    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)
