Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

“A man’s social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he would lie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In a house where there are small children the bathroom soon takes on the appearance of the Old Curiosity Shop.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
