Autonomous County

Famous quotes containing the words autonomous and/or county:

“The modern world needs people with a complex identity who are intellectually autonomous and prepared to cope with uncertainty; who are able to tolerate ambiguity and not be driven by fear into a rigid, single-solution approach to problems, who are rational, foresightful and who look for facts; who can draw inferences and can control their behavior in the light of foreseen consequences, who are altruistic and enjoy doing for others, and who understand social forces and trends.”
—Robert Havighurst (20th century)

“In the county there are thirty-seven churches
and no butcher shop. This could be taken
as a matter of all form and no content.”
