Famous quotes containing the words common, long and/or haul:
“Throughout the 1980’s, we did hear too much about individual gain and the ethos of selfishness and greed. We did not hear enough about how to be a good member of a community, to define the common good and to repair the social contract. And we also found that while prosperity does not trickle down from the most powerful to the rest of us, all too often indifference and even intolerance do.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
“Careful accounts make for long friendships.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The brawniest will not beat back the storm
Nor the heaviest haul your little boy from harm.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
