Famous quotes containing the words ethnic and/or groups:

    “Caprice, independence and rebellion, which are opposed to the social order, are essential to the good health of an ethnic group. We shall measure the good health of this group by the number of its delinquents. Nothing is more immobilizing than the spirit of deference.”
    —Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    “Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
