Life Peers

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or peers:

“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

“He could not have been tried by a jury of his peers, because his peers did not exist.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
