Eighth Child

Famous quotes containing the words eighth and/or child:

“Thou shalt not steal.”
—Bible: Hebrew Exodus, 20:15.

The eighth commandment.

“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
