Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or foot:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck.”
—William James (1842–1910)
