Famous quotes containing the words decent and/or peoples:

“You can be slum-born and slum-bred and still achieve something worth while; but it is a stupid inverted snobbishness to be proud of it. If one had a right to be proud of anything, it would be of a continued decent tradition back of one.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

“But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
