Famous quotes containing the words population and/or settlement:

    “The population question is the real riddle of the sphinx, to which no political Oedipus has as yet found the answer. In view of the ravages of the terrible monster over-multiplication, all other riddle sink into insignificance.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “A Settlement is above all a place for enthusiasms, a spot to which those who have a passion for the equalization of human joys and opportunities are early attracted.”
    —Jane Addams (1860–1935)
