Famous quotes containing the words year and/or danger:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
