Famous quotes containing the words development and/or environment:
“On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (18251911)
“Maturity involves being honest and true to oneself, making decisions based on a conscious internal process, assuming responsibility for ones decisions, having healthy relationships with others and developing ones own true gifts. It involves thinking about ones environment and deciding what one will and wont accept.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
