Faith System

Famous quotes containing the words faith and/or system:

    And in spite of all the dishonour,
    The broken standards, the broken lives,
    The broken faith in one place or another,
    here was something left that was more than the tales
    Of old men on winter evenings.
    Only the faith could have done what was good of it....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    If mothers are to be successful in achieving their child-rearing goals, they must have the inner freedom to find their own value system and within that system to find what is acceptable to them and what is not. This means leaving behind the anxiety, but also the security, of simplistic good-bad formulations and deciding for themselves what they want to teach their children.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
