Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or smart:
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhoodthe one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done for the sake of the children justified, even ennobled the mothers role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunnedthe ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“Glorious the northern lights astream;
Glorious the song, when Gods the theme
Glorious the thunders roar:
Glorious hosanna from the den;
Glorious the catholic amen;
Glorious the martyrs gore:
Gloriousmore glorious is the crown
Of him that brought salvation down
By meekness, called thy Son;
Thou that stupendous truth believed,
And now the matchless deeds achieved,
Determined, Dared, and Done.”
—Christopher Smart (17221771)
