Inactivated Fourth Air

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or air:

“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)

“A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
