Famous quotes containing the words john and/or speedy:

    The very fact that there are experts may be intimidating; we hate to think that there must be one best way to handle any situation as parents and that we don’t know what it is. So as we get more and more advice we seem less and less sure of what we ought to do for our children.
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    Who does not sometimes envy the good and the brave, who are no more to suffer from the tumults of the natural world, and await with curious complacency the speedy term of his own conversation with finite nature?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
