Citizen Parent

Famous quotes containing the words citizen and/or parent:

“[M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

“It’s funny how you never meet a parent who rushes his child. That’s what other parents do. All we are doing is reacting to our child’s “natural” ability.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
