Famous quotes containing the words functions of the, functions of, functions, money and/or market:

    Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    One of the most highly valued functions of used parents these days is to be the villains of their children’s lives, the people the child blames for any shortcomings or disappointments. But if your identity comes from your parents’ failings, then you remain forever a member of the child generation, stuck and unable to move on to an adulthood in which you identify yourself in terms of what you do, not what has been done to you.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    Scientists have odious manners, except when you prop up their theory; then you can borrow money of them.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Ae market night,
    Tam had got planted unco right,
    Fast by an ingle, bleezing finely,
    Wi’ reaming swats that drank divinely;
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
