Baxter Men

Famous quotes containing the words baxter and/or men:

“In necessary things, unity; in disputed things, liberty; in all things, charity.”
—Variously Ascribed.

The formulation was used as a motto by the English Nonconformist clergyman Richard Baxter (1615-1691)

“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
