Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or materials:
“The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
