Minority Nations

Famous quotes containing the words minority and/or nations:

“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.”
—Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)

“There have been some nations who could do nothing but construct tombs, and these are the only traces which they have left. They are the heathen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
